San Germano

Monferrato Rosso

Made purely from Pinot Noir grapes, a variety introduced into the area by Cavour in the 1800s on the advice of French oenologist Oudart.

This wine is produced and bottled only in great vintage years with a
growing season particularly suited to the Pinot Noir variety. After
careful fruit selection and a very particular vinification technique, the
wine is finished in French oak for about one year.

Visual examination reveals the wine to be ruby red in colour with good
intensity; On the nose it has a characteristic, complex bouquet with notes of wild berries, particularly blueberry. In the mouth, it is soft and well structured with a persistent fruity finish.

This is a wine that evolves and improves with at least 7-8 years of bottle-aging. It is a particularly good accompaniment to robust first courses, savoury meats, wild game and cheeses which are not overly piquant.
