2016 Albarossa Piemonte DOCG

Grapes:
100% Albarossa.

Origin:
Marenco vineyards, in Strevi and Cassine.

Vinification:
Grapes are manually selected and harvested in little baskets.
In the cellar they are destemmed and put into stainless steel tanks where the fermentation and maceration take place at controlled temperature.

Wine is then aged in small and medium oak barrels for 18 months at least.

Tasting notes:
Dry red wine with purple refections; intense, enveloping, complex bouquet with a predominance of fruity and foral sensations along with a strong spicy component and notes of toastiness. Flavor is full, well-structured, persistent and harmonious, pleasantly fresh and tasty.

Albarossa’s fascinating character is captured best after aging.

Pairings:
Pairs well with charcuterie, boiled meat, stews, roasts, and ripe cheeses. Suitable for dishes of red meat. It also pairs surprisingly well with all varieties of fsh cooked with tomatoes, fried in butter or baked.

Serving suggestions:
Store horizontally in a dry cool and dark place. Open 1 hour before service. Serve in big bowl wine glasses at 18°C.
