Region: Piemonte Asti
Soil type: Limestone-Marly
Altitude: 210m
Vines per hectare: 4800
Yield per hectare: 80 ql
Harvest: Manual
Training system: Guyot
Exposure: Northwest

Varieties: Barbera 100%

Vinification

The winemaking process follows the traditional method, with crushing and destemming of the grapes occurring before the start of alcoholic fermentation. This fermentation, combined with maceration, takes place in stainless steel containers and lasts for approximately 15 days. After racking, the grape skins undergo a pressing, from which a portion of wine (rich in color) is obtained and reintegrated into the base wine. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in 29 hl barrels for about 9 months.

Alcohol: 13,5-14,5% vol
Tasting notes:

A fresh and fragrant wine, with intense fruity aromas on the nose, reminiscent of small red fruits such as cherry and blackberry. The moderate barrel aging allows for subtle vanilla nuances and elegant tannins from the French oak. On the palate, it is structured yet maintains the drinkability of a fresh wine. 

Pairings:

Highly versatile, ideal to accompany pasta dishes and both red and white meats.

Serving T°: 18° C

L'antagonista

Monferrato Nebbiolo D.O.C.
Region: Piemonte Asti
Soil type: Limestone-Marly
Altitude: 230m
Vines per hectare: 5000
Yield per hectare: 65 ql
Harvest: Manual
Training system: Guyot
Exposure: Southeast

Varieties: Nebbiolo 100%

Vinification
After destemming and crushing, a pre-fermentation cold maceration (10&degC) is carried out overnight without any punch-downs. The inoculation with selected yeast strains the following day initiates alcoholic fermentation. Punch-downs are infrequent, as is the maceration, which lasts a maximum of 5 days. The temperature is maintained at 25&degC throughout the process. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in steel for approximately 8 months.
Alcohol: 13,5-14% vol
Tasting notes:

The vinification method, with controlled temperature and minimal punch-downs, results in a wine with a very fruity nose (hints of berries) and a final note of black pepper. It presents itself harmonious and velvety on the palate with a long and persistent finish.

Pairings:

Very versatile, ideal to accompany both pasta dishes and red or white meat. Its freshness and delicate aromas make it an interesting pairing for sushi.
