The Albarossa grape is relatively young, having been created in 1938 by Piedmontese winemaker Giovanni Dalmasso, who crossed Nebbiolo and Barbera to create a further tribute to his homeland. The \u003cb\u003eBricco dei Guazzi\u003c\/b\u003e winery cultivates its vineyards in the Monferrato Vineyard Landscapes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. The Piedmontese company's Albarossa plantations grow in Olivola, in the province of \u003cb\u003eAlessandria\u003c\/b\u003e. The vines enjoy a sunny \u003cb\u003eclimate\u003c\/b\u003e and a \u003cb\u003emarly, calcareous, tuff-rich \u003cb\u003esoil\u003c\/b\u003e. Thanks to the scarce rainfall, the vines' \u003cb\u003eroots\u003c\/b\u003e descend deep in search of nutrients, giving them strength. The sun allows the \u003cb\u003eb\u0026gt;grapes\u003c\/b\u003e to ripen evenly, and the fresh air from the nearby Alps helps the grapes grow healthily. To produce this \u003cb\u003eDOC\u003c\/b\u003e red wine, the Olivola company uses only 100% Albarossa grapes. The \u003cb\u003eharvest\u003c\/b\u003e is done exclusively by hand, after which the grapes are crushed and destemmed. The pomace is then left to \u003cb\u003emacerate\u003c\/b\u003e with the musts for about a week in steel tanks heated to 25-28 degrees Celsius. For optimal extraction of color and body, frequent \u003cb\u003epumping over\u003c\/b\u003e takes place before proceeding with \u003cb\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/b\u003e. The \u003cb\u003ered wine\u003c\/b\u003e obtained is then \u003cb\u003eaged\u003c\/b\u003e in barriques for 6 months and in barrels for another 12. The final \u003cb\u003erefinement\u003c\/b\u003e takes place in the bottle for at least 4 months.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Bricco dei Guazzi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46478727315627,"sku":"61301","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-nl\/products\/bricco-dei-guazzi-albarossa-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
