Nebbiolo is rightly the symbol of Piedmontese oenology, probably precisely because its organoleptic characteristics fully respect the cultural traditions of this splendid territory, past and present. Its rigor and elegance make it a real point of reference even at international level, if we ignore the various denominations and terroirs in which Nebbiolo shows itself with different characteristics. Nebbiolo was recently included in the DOC Monferrato, proving that from the slopes of the Alps, in the area of Novara and Vercelli, in the province of Ivrea, in the Val di Susa and then down to the first Apennines with the Langa and the Alto Monferrato, it has different agronomic peculiarities and characteristics, with different but always extremely interesting results from a qualitative point of view. A vine that ripens very late and often completes its technological and phenolic maturation at cold temperatures that allow it to fully develop. A vine that needs time to develop, refine itself and rewards the wait with profiles characterized by great structure and persistence. The "Gasiè" plot of Vignaquaranti offers very interesting ripening parameters, with an excellent balance between vegetation and production. Generally, the choice is made for vinification with a short maceration to preserve the fruit and then allow it to mature to complete the gustatory characteristics and the inimitable tannic profile GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% Nebbiolo SOIL: clayey EXPOSURE: South-East GROWTH: 4500 plants/ha GROWTH FORM: espalier, Guyot pruning YIELD PER HECTARE: 60 quintals/hectare HARVEST: manual, early October VINIFICATION: fermentation in steel tanks with maceration of a maximum of one week COLOUR: ruby red with garnet reflections BOUQUET: ripe red fruit, cherries in alcohol TASTE: good structure and fullness, enveloping tannins and long aftertaste
