Description

Alto Monferrato, where the dolcetto and cabernet sauvignon vineyards that make up this wine live, to be precise in Rocca Grimalda and Castelletto d’Orba, north and north-east of Ovada. Stay calm and do not turn up your nose, because there is tons of 100% docetto scattered in numerous denominations, there is nothing strange if someone wants to take other paths to propose a wine with different characteristics (among other things Marco and Tomaso also offer the version in purity with Ottotori), just put your nose close to the glass to realize that the historic Piedmontese vine is there, beautiful perky and vinous, to reassure that here there is no tendency to make the usual “internationalized wines “, But we only look for different balances,” other “expressive forms, simply because making wine is also this, experimenting, looking for new and proper paths, making mistakes and learning, the only way to really get to understand more the raw material and the terroir where it lives. The color, just to understand, is not blackish, it is a very classic ruby, indeed, those purple spots that often give us the sweet, here are almost absent, to the advantage of a more “composed” and adult color, on the other hand the wine is two years old and begins to express greater complexity.
