L'Onirico Assaggiatore is a typical red wine of our hills in Monferrato Astigiano. Notes of black cherry and blackberry, it's crisp and thirst-quenching when young. The colour is intense red. Thanks to its structure and generally high alcohol, it has a very good ageing potential.
Still, dry, red wine, perfect for pairing with steak, charcuterie, and some desserts.
The vineyards
The vines grown on a south facing side of the hill, on clay soils, at 250 meters above sea level. The grapes come from one vineyard of 30 years old. The grapes are hand harvested.
The winemaking process
The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then pushed into the fermentation tank, where they naturally start fermenting thanks to indigenous yeasts. After 15 days of contact with the grape skins in the tank, the fermenting juice is separated from the skins and poured into another tank. The pomace is spread in the vineyards for compost. After fermentation is completed. the wine ages in stainless steel for at least twelve month. Subsequently, it ages in the bottle. There is a minimal addition of sulphites during the process.
