It displays a light garnet colour, opening with a bouquet marked by clear floral and fruity notes. On the palate, it is complex and full-bodied, offering a fresh sip with a long finish. Thanks to skilful \u003cstrong\u003eageing in large Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a year, the tannins are softened, lending great elegance to this \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e, which pairs beautifully with game, pork and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in Serralunga d’Alba, in the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eLanghe\u003c\/strong\u003e region, from vineyards at two hundred metres altitude facing south and south-west. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous marl soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for imparting tension, clarity and a potential longevity of up to fifteen years. \u003cstrong\u003eMirafiore\u003c\/strong\u003e has cultivated these plots since 1878 with strict sustainable practices. The name \u003cstrong\u003ePietra Magica\u003c\/strong\u003e recalls the fascinating discovery, made in the 1980s, of two ancient anthropomorphic sculptures found guarding a historic row of vines on the Vesime hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification employs meticulous techniques in classic cement vats. During fermentation, a targeted \u003cstrong\u003edelestage\u003c\/strong\u003e is performed: the \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e must is separated and rests on the \u003cstrong\u003eBarbera\u003c\/strong\u003e skins for two hours, then returns to its original pomace. Once the alcoholic phase is complete, a slow \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting up to sixty days extracts the substance and defines the tannic structure. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous malolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally balances the acidity with the wine’s full structure, completing the harmony of the sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1878 in Serralunga d’Alba, \u003cstrong\u003eCasa E. di Mirafiore\u003c\/strong\u003e links the identity of this organic red wine to the evocative tales of Cesare Pavese about the ancient pre-harvest fire rituals. The name \u003cstrong\u003ePietra Magica\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to two ancient anthropomorphic sculptures discovered in the 1980s guarding a historic Piedmontese row of vines. Cultivating prized cru vineyards over 25 hectares of dedicated land, the winery preserves tradition by vinifying in classic cement vats, then enhances the elegance of the wine through ageing in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casa E. di Mirafiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46149399380139,"sku":"60224","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/mirafiore-pietra-magica-langhe-rosso-2021_60224_1_33a263c9-9fc5-4668-bee7-4b28ffa25658.webp?v=1773811001","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/mirafiore-pietra-magica-langhe-rosso-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
