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.

A wine of the highest quality, dedicated to the most discerning palates. The creation of such a product begins with the perfect vineyard, Bricco della Gioia, a small plot where the soil, exposure, microclimate, care and selection combine to create a unique and inimitable wine. At its heart the wine is a deep and compact ruby red with an initial garnet nuance. Once poured an elegant blend of blackberries, dried plums and sub-glazed cherries emerge, intertwining with floral hints of rose petals. Despite its relative youth, the wine’s refinement in wood allows for tertiary notes to appear, from which mentholated aromas, sweet tobacco and fine spices can be recognized. The quality of this flagship wine is confirmed on the palate: its power and structure are balanced by elegance and finesse, while the warm, soft and persistent taste is harmonized by fruit and fine tannin. The company’s “jewel”, each bottle of Opera Prima is stored in a unique cellar carved out of the ground that has belonged to the family for generations, waiting for a special moment to be shared.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRUCHE'S DENOMINATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato” is a small DOCG, covering seven municipalities, some only partially: Castagnole Monferrato, Montemagno, Viarigi, Refrancore, Scurzolengo, Portacomaro and Grana.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- In 2016 there were 136 hectares (they were 103 in 2011 and only 10 in 1988), 35 companies and more than 77,000 bottles produced against 499,000 in 2011.

Made with fruit from pre-phylloxera vines from one of the highest elevation vineyards in the appellation (at 950 meters above sea level), this is always a study in elegance, and the integrity of the fruit transcends most problematic vintage variations thanks to the hearty resilience of the vines and their extended root systems. This wine shows composure and equilibrium with an incredibly glossy or silky quality of fruit with berry, smoke, tar and campfire ash.

The consequent slow oxidation and absorption of compounds from the oak have softened the tannins, deepened its rich ruby tonality, and brought out of those aromas traditional to Freisa. Wild berry fruit, raspberry, and subtle hints of blackberry and rose petals meld appealingly into subtly pungent note of vanilla and tobacco leaf. The palate is crisp and fresh, yet at the same time mouthfilling and velvet-textured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINIFICATION: We have selected the grapes for this very special wine from an old, almost historical, vineyard in Cornareto hill.

Through a traditional working, with frequents remix and delestages, we extract a significant amount of tannins and colour, thus obtaining a wine with an important structure, which ensures it a long evolution and longevity. The passage in oak barrels allows a slow and optimal transfer of the oxygen, making Arvelè a creamy, rich, persistent and surprising wine, with a very long lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cascina Gilli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43589641175294,"sku":"UVCG11","price":55.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/products\/ARVELEFreisad_AstiSuperiore2016_CascinaGilli_75cl_7fbd93d7-774a-4595-b80e-71d51f4e858f.png?v=1665580390"},{"product_id":"moye-bonarda-frizzante-2021-cascina-gilli-75cl","title":"MOYE Bonarda Frizzante DOC 2021 [Cascina Gilli] 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium Body, Fruity (Bonarda).

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":43620367696126,"sku":"UVCA45","price":99.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/products\/TWCA11_PER_PAPA_2012_Castello_di_Cigognola_75cl_3d04a16b-caf7-4fc6-9c4d-c13b8cb637c5.png?v=1666162146"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/collections\/collection_redsMAR2020_e4e5ff7b-ee2f-46ca-a3ba-07a9a417537a.png?v=1784855326","url":"https:\/\/onceuponavine.sg\/collections\/red-wine-julyaug2026.oembed?page=2","provider":"Once Upon A Vine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
