Description
A still red from Piedmont, 14.5% ABV, produced by Marcello Brunetti. 100% Syrah, 2021 vintage. A Langhe Rosso born from Marcello's passion for traditional wines, a marriage between the Langhe region and this grape variety he loves. The harvest was done by hand on the morning of September 26, 2020. The grapes were lightly pressed the following day, gently by foot, leaving the bunches whole with their stalks. After two daily punch-downs without pumping over, the wine was dry-racked and, without the aid of pumps, entirely by gravity. It was then placed in an exhausted 225-liter barrique for aging. Without any further intervention, without the addition of oenological products or sulfites, without filtration or fining, the wine was gravity bottled on July 9, 2022. On the nose, intense fruity aromas of blackberry and plum combine with vegetal notes of olive and spicy notes of cloves and pepper. A very compact and dense purplish-red color. On the palate, it is intense, warm, and very soft, with sweet and smooth tannins. A wine of great persistence and structure.

Before him, the grapes produced had always been sold to important names, while since he joined the company, the winemaking of the grapes started on his own. Out of friendship with Marcello Brunetti, after Marcello saw the release of a couple of vintages of his Langhe Rosso made from a portion of a vineyard planted with Syrah, the idea of this collaboration was born, to try winemaking in a different way.
Marco's Syrah-based Langhe Rosso is a modern wine, very successful in the area for its particular taste and contemporary approach. Marcello's wine, on the other hand, is a combination of his passion for old-fashioned wines, the Langa territory, and this grape variety he loves. Read more
