Grown following traditional Piedmontese methods, the grapes are picked in the middle of October.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe fermentation is always long and slow so as to allow all the natural elements contained in the grapes to develop in the wine. It is then drawn off into different fill barrels, where it completes its malolactic fermentation and remains for at least 24 months. After a further year of maturing in the peace and quiet of our old cellars, the wine is bottled in preparation for its release. With its expansive, fruity nose, followed by a full body and long finish in the mouth, the taste is dominated by the elegance of Roero tannins.

Therefore I was quite thrown off balance when I tasted the metodo classico wines from Castello di Cigognola ... Owned by Moratti, a family of entrepreneurs, the team at the property have set themselves the lofty goal of challenging not Franciacorta but Champagne. Their secret weapon is north-facing, mature vineyards of Pinot Noir at elevations of at least 350 m (1,150 ft). Fully ripe grapes are what they are after, something which Oltrepò Pavese routinely delivers year after year, making adding sugar at any stage of the winemaking process unnecessary. The Morattis have taken on board star oenologist Federico Staderini, who among others is responsible for the Poggio di Sotto Brunellos that are extremely elegant even though they are grown in one of Montalcino's warmer areas. And that seems to be the Staderini signature: Oltrepò Pavese can be very warm, but the first releases of Castello di Cigognola do not reflect this in the least. What they show, dare I say it, is that Oltrepò Pavese can be a very good place to produce top Pinot Noirs and not just in sparkling form.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello Di Cigognola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37603611574462,"sku":"UVCA17","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/products\/MOREBrutCuvee_CastelloDiCigognola_75cl.png?v=1614219916"},{"product_id":"sru-2017-monchiero-carbone-75cl","title":"SRU Roero DOCG 2017 [Monchiero Carbone] 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eFull Body, Dry (Nebbiolo).

Before bottling it, it is afterwards re-fermented in an autoclave, with the help of selected yeasts until the alcohol content reaches 5,5° and the must assumes its typical vivacity.

Therefore I was quite thrown off balance when I tasted the metodo classico wines from Castello di Cigognola ... Owned by Moratti, a family of entrepreneurs, the team at the property have set themselves the lofty goal of challenging not Franciacorta but Champagne. Their secret weapon is north-facing, mature vineyards of Pinot Noir at elevations of at least 350 m (1,150 ft). Fully ripe grapes are what they are after, something which Oltrepò Pavese routinely delivers year after year, making adding sugar at any stage of the winemaking process unnecessary. The Morattis have taken on board star oenologist Federico Staderini, who among others is responsible for the Poggio di Sotto Brunellos that are extremely elegant even though they are grown in one of Montalcino's warmer areas. And that seems to be the Staderini signature: Oltrepò Pavese can be very warm, but the first releases of Castello di Cigognola do not reflect this in the least. What they show, dare I say it, is that Oltrepò Pavese can be a very good place to produce top Pinot Noirs and not just in sparkling form.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello Di Cigognola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43620357210366,"sku":"UVCA44","price":110.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/products\/CUVEEDELL_ANGELO2012_CastelloDiCigognola_75cl_f737179c-263e-40e0-8173-da087492b5db.png?v=1666161989"},{"product_id":"mari-2020-bentu-luna-75cl","title":"MARI 2020 [Bentu Luna] 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eFull Body, Dry (Cannonau*, Bovale**, Monica).

As with all well made sweet wines, optimum acidity in the grape at time of harvest is key to a balanced wine that exhibits sweetness without being cloying. Semele is a richly aromatic wine, bursting with ripe red and black fruit notes, plus hints of dried flower. Pair with your favourite dessert or bold cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWINERY NOTES: \"A wine born from our childhood memories when it was drunk during Easter meal with lamb and it was used as a tonic together with beaten egg yolk.
