Wine Making:After the harvesting of the grape by hand, the berries are crushed and destemmed. The pomaces are left to mace-rate in contact with the musts at temperatures between 25°C and 28°C for a week in large steel vats. Frequent pumping over allows for optimal extraction of the colour and a good body. Malolactic fermentation is carried out, then the wine is placed in barrique barrels for 6 months, and after that in barrels of 30 hectolitres for a further 12 months. A bottle aging process of at least 4 months fol-lows.

Tasting NotesA deep, almost impenetrable, ruby red. Warm and embra-cing to the nose with intense aromas of blueberry and other red berries, mixed with aromas of toasted coffee and of leather. To the palate it is rounded and fullbodied, a great concentration of fruitiness bolstered by a tannic pro-file which yields an outstanding yet very pleasant wine.


 

 

 

 

The Bricco dei Guazzi Estate is located in Piemonte. Because of the high temperature and limited rainfall, the whole area is extremely suitable for planting red grapes.The estate has 50 hectares of land, 30 of which are dedicated to vineyards. A true gem of functional architecture, the cellars of Bricco dei Guazzi, after the recent restoration, is a perfect blend of modern technology and enhancement of the Monferrato winemaking tradition. The Infernot,a typical construction of the Casale area, it allows to keep, throughout the year, a cool and constant temperature, beautifully lends itself to the aging of wine.
