Mompertone
Monferrato DOC
2024
Blend
Climate
The 2024 growing season began with mild winter weather and some rainfall that partially helped restore soil water reserves depleted after a dry summer. Vine growth resumed regularly during a generally mild period. Late spring and summer were marked by overall rainy conditions. These climatic conditions required careful vineyard management to preserve vine health; in particular, cluster thinning played a key role in ensuring grapes with good sugar concentration and freshness. The grape harvest took place from September 13th to the 28th.
Harvest and Vinification
Freshly harvested grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed, and crushed. Maceration took place over a period of 6 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30 °C (82-86 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed by the end of December, and the wine was left to age for approximately 12 months in the cellar.
Historical Data
Mompertone comes from vineyards in the Monferrato area that grow on soils composed of limestone and clay with widespread sand veining. This terroir gives the wine a round palate characterized by soft and elegant tannins.
Tasting Notes
Mompertone is an intense ruby red color with violet hues. Enveloping on the nose with rich aromas of cherries and forest floor accompanied by hints of spices, vanilla and cocoa. The palate is generous, velvety, persistent and harmonious with supple elegant tannins.
