Descrizione

The harvest takes place manually in October. The winemaking is characterized by a fermentation of approximately 10 days in thermo-conditioned steel tanks, maintaining contact with the skins and implementing frequent pumping over and punching down. The subsequent malolactic fermentation takes place in a heated environment, in steel containers, immediately after the alcoholic fermentation. The refinement of the wine continues in second passage 225 liter barrels for a period of 12 months, followed by 6 months in the bottle. This maturation process helps to develop the complexity and richness of the wine, offering a final result that reflects the care and attention dedicated to each phase of production.

A wine with a complex structure; the combination of lively acidity, robust tannins and aromatic complexity contributes to its remarkable longevity.

It pairs well with rich and tasty dishes based on red meat, game, mature cheeses or mushrooms.

Winery history

The estate was founded in 1958 when Crissante Alessandria, together with his wife Teresa, decided to vinify the grapes from the family vineyards, which until then had been sold to other wineries in the Langa. Over the years the property expanded its vineyards on La Morra’s best exposures; management has remained family-run and today is led by Michele Alessandria, with the involvement of his sons Alberto and Luca.

Production philosophy

Production rooted in the traditions of the region: use of native grape varieties, traditional winemaking with extended fermentations, and careful ageing in wooden vessels of varying sizes to respect the specific characteristics of each wine.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate’s vineyards are located in the municipality of La Morra, in the Capalot, Galina and Roggeri vineyards. The winery and family residences are situated in the hamlet of Santa Maria Borgata Roggeri.
