Description
Denomination: Monferrato Rosso DOC Grape Variety: 100% Croatina Name: Brunaldo Alcohol: 14° Volume: 0.75L Production Area: Ponzano Monferrato (AL), Piedmont, Italy Description: Fermentation in steel barrels at a controlled temperature of 28°C. The must-wine is kept in contact with the skins for 8/10 days, then racking and pressing are carried out. This is followed by malolactic fermentation at a controlled temperature of 20°C with periodic batonnage. Aged in small oak barrels for about 18 months, followed by bottle aging for 4/6 months. Intense ruby red with violet hues, broad and complex aroma, initially spicy then softer and enveloping with hints of red fruit, plums, and cherries, the blend is given by the slight note of vanilla, full and intense taste, long persistence, dense but soft texture, important and round to the touch, savory. The aftertaste brings back the spicy note and the sweetness of ripe fruit. Pairings: cured meats, robust first courses, white meats, not overly aged cheeses.
