This selection produces a wine that could measure itself against the more structured Piedmontese reds, and deal confidently with decidedly long periods of aging without surrendering the elegance that is typical of the Nebbiolo grapes originating on the steep slopes of the Roero.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe grapes grown on the calcareous lands of the Frailin hill, in the cru Srü of the municipality of Canale.  The exposure to the West allows the grapes to benefit from dry, hot summer days, as well as enjoying the last few warm rays of the autumn setting sun: this is essential for varieties such as Nebbiolo, which takes longer to ripen, a feature which is often overlooked. 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. It is a wine that will continue to improve with lengthy aging in the bottle.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinery notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"specifiche\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003ea ruby-red hue, giving greater intensity without taking away any of its brightness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"specifiche\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003eintense and very deep, with unmistakeable aromatic facets; an initially ethereal impact gives way to hints of raspberry and blackberry, which are rendered more complex by a background of sweet spices (cocoa and cinnamon) and noble wood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"specifiche\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003egreat character showing through dense tannins and a magnificent alcohol\/tannin balance; after a full-bodied, almost chewy entry, the silky soft tannins gradually spread out into a long, round finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"specifiche\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003egreater structure and body demand richer, tastier dishes, such as casseroles, braised beef in red wine, roast goose or wild boar stew.

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":"vitovska-2018-edi-kante-75cl","title":"VITOVSKA 2018 [Kante] 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium Body, Dry (Vitovska).

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":99.0,"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).
