Description

Region

In the northwest of Italy lies the unique low alpine region of Piedmont (or Piemonte), which means `at the foot of the mountains`. Weather influences come from the Apennine Mountains and the Alps The region includes the small and prestigious hillside wine towns of Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Gavi, where a diverse variety of well-known wine styles originate. Some of Italy`s most revered and expensive red wines come from the Nebbiolo grape, grown alongside Barbera, Dolcetto and for white wines Moscato and Cortese.

Producer

Owned by the Sperone family, an ancient 17th century villa was built on top of a hill in Casalotto di Mombaruzzo, near Asti, in the heart of Monferrato, Piedmont. Tenute Neirano`s origins began when Antonio Sperone began making wine in 1911 and today the estate is of great importance by combining rural tradition and modern technology. Now led by Francesca and Andrea Sperone 94th generation of the family), with 30 hectares of their own vineyards making some of the finest Italian wines. Among the white Piedmont classics of insuperable quality, we find Gavi and for the internationally awarded reds, Barolo and Barbera d’Asti superiore.

Tasting Notes

A brilliant fresh and full bodied wine which exhibits round sweet fruit flavours and extraordinary length. It is a delicious modern style of Barbera with both elegance and complexity supported by supple, moderate tannins. Barbera gives intense mouthfilling marasca cherry and red berry fruits, velvety texture and acidity softened by one year ageing in barrel. The tannins are present but fine grained which leads on to a fine and lasting finish.

Food

Works well with lamb, steak, sausages, roast pork and well flavoured cheeses.

Picpoul de Pinet is a wine produced in a small region behind the sand dunes of Sete on the Mediterranean coast. Ungrafted Piquepoul vines planted on chalky soils are kept cool and humid by the sea breeze. This Domaine is one of only four significant producers of Picpoul de Pinet alongside 20 or so tiny Domaines. Hidden behind a neglected concrete facade of the old winery lies an immaculate modern facility. This progressive winery manages a variety of domaines and styles, the `Trois Mats` is overseen by a New Zealand consultant winemaker.
