Description

The La Presidenta Monferrato DOC from Bricco dei Guazzi is a true expression of the Monferrato territory, one of the most prestigious areas of Piedmont, renowned for the production of high-quality wines. This wine is primarily made from Barbera grapes, with a small addition of other local varieties, giving it a distinctive and rich character with many nuances.

La Presidenta presents itself with an intense ruby red color, preluding a complex bouquet of aromas, where notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum stand out, enriched by touches of vanilla and sweet spices, thanks to aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is vigorous yet harmonious, with a well-balanced tannic structure and an aromatic persistence that reflects its olfactory complexity.

This wine is excellent to serve with rich and flavorful dishes, such as roasted red meats, game dishes, or aged cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for a tasting evening, where it can brilliantly showcase its evolution in the glass.

The ideal serving temperature for La Presidenta Monferrato DOC is between 16 and 18°C. It is recommended to decant it at least an hour before serving, to allow its aromas and flavors to fully express themselves.

With its elegant presentation and the depth of its bouquet and taste, the La Presidenta Monferrato DOC from Bricco dei Guazzi is an ideal choice for lovers of Piedmont wines who seek something unique and intensely pleasurable.

Winery history

The estate traces its roots to the village of Olivola: the Villa del Bel Riposo was built by Stefano Guazzo in the second half of the 16th century, and in subsequent centuries the property also passed to the Conti Candiani. Winemaking remains a living tradition at the estate, which preserves traces of its noble history by combining historic buildings with modern cellar facilities.
