Description
In a nutshell:
An Italian red from cooler Piedmont vineyards this is Pinot Nero at its most vibrant - full of wild raspberry, ripe cherry, and a delightful touch of spice.
The lowdown:
This just sings with bright cherry and raspberry notes, followed by deeper hints of spice and darker fruits. It's crafted from Pinot Nero (that's Pinot Noir to the rest of the world) grown on a single chalky vineyard high in the Monferrato hills. The winemaker experimented with a blend of methods - half the grapes fermented in steel (some whole bunches included), the other half in large wooden casks. After blending, the wine sees a year in oak. The result is a wine both vibrant and complex - juicy fruit, lively acidity, and a touch of savoury depth.
The Producer:
Il Cascinone, dating back to 1920, is a revived gem of Piedmont's Monferrato hills. Once a revered Barbera d'Asti specialist, the estate saw a decline before Araldica rescued it in 1999. They've breathed new life into its steep, demanding vineyards. Of the 102 hectares, 70 now flourish, expertly divided to suit grapes like Barbera and Merlot on sunny slopes, with aromatic Moscato and Sauvignon Blanc thriving elsewhere. The 'Il Cascinone' range showcases this care, with hand-harvested fruit and the Araldica team's skilled touch guiding each bottle.
When to drink:
This would be delicious with a hearty rabbit stew or those small, filled pasta parcels known as agnolotti.
Suitable for Vegans
