From the firm belief that a good producer can only best enhance the characteristics of the fruit that the earth has given him, Gavi di Monchiero Carbone is born, one of the most integral and upright Cortese that it is currently possible to meet in the territory of the Municipality of Gavi. Vinified and aged in steel only, the result is an elegant white, extremely clean in aromas, intense in taste that enhances everything that nature has created, in line with the tradition and culture of the area. Straw yellow and crystalline to the eye, it is presented in the glass with a beautiful aromatic richness and a fine bouquet, marked by persistent notes of white flowers, lily of the valley, almond and grapefruit, which gives us a remarkable persistence. On the palate it reveals a light and snappy body, with all the well-balanced components and a fresh and pleasant acid note leading a sip that reveals a savory and typically bitterish finish. Satisfying and particularly versatile in combinations. When there is fish at the table, but also white meats and poultry, it is a Gavi with which you can never go wrong.

Definitely the most widespread and cultivated vine in Piedmont since the end of the 19th century, Barbera has also spread to the Alba area, adapting well to the environment thanks to its rusticity. Respecting tradition, without giving in to fashions and without erasing its peculiarities, Monchiero Carbone's Barbera d'Alba DOC 2017 is a wine capable of simultaneously narrating the grape variety, the vintage, the territory and all the dynamism of its typology. After the harvest, the vinification continues for about 15 days to then begin a short period of aging: 70% in stainless steel containers and the remaining 30% in oak, for a period of one year. The result is a red that expresses itself with depth and momentum in the glass, for a product that can be drunk willingly and to be fully enjoyed without thinking too much about it. In the glass it has a beautiful intense red imbued with vivacity. The nose expresses its fruity fragrance without hesitation with clear sensations of black cherry and cherries, followed by pleasantly free-range notes of wet earth. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with an attack of lively freshness, which opens up to a juicy fruit, accompanied by light tannins and a finish of good persistence. Throughout the meal and, given its versatility and its fresh and fruity vein, it is the ideal companion to mixed grills, especially pork chop and sausage.

Smooth and fresh, immediate and pleasant, but at the same time never predictable and never banal: it is the "Regret", the Langhe DOC branded Monchiero Carbone that comes from Nebbiolo grapes which, for their fragrance and structure, are ideal for the production of a wine that can fully express, from the first year, the characteristics of this great vine. The grapes destined for the production of "Regret" are fermented with the classic Piedmontese technique which involves maceration on the skins for at least 15 days. After racking, the wine is placed in barriques, where malolactic fermentation takes place and where it rests for a maturation period of about six months. A red that certainly does not leave one indifferent, capable of giving voice, like few others, to the true essence of its native territory. It opens to the eye with a not very intense and young ruby hue. It reveals great olfactory finesse, a perfect synthesis between the varietal notes of raspberry and wild strawberries together with the typical floral scents. On the palate it is medium-bodied, giving us a harmonious, fresh and tasty sip, with a well-integrated and highly refined tannic texture. It closes with good persistence and with a good range of aromatic sensations. The tannic finesse of this Nebbiolo goes well with rich and tasty dishes, such as fresh pasta seasoned with meat sauces and grilled or roasted red meats.

Arneis, an exclusive vine of the steep Roero hills, is, together with Nebbiolo, the architect of the fame of our territory. To enhance the prestige that this vine deserves, an exclusive selection of Roero Arneis has been created since 2004, with the clear intention of offering a further opportunity to fully appreciate the characteristics and potential of this great vine. The grapes come from two single vineyards selected for their sandy terroir and high altitude: from the soft, sandy soils of the Tanone cru, in the municipality of Vezza d'Alba, and from the Renesio Incisa cru in Canale, on the famous hill which gave the birthplace of the Arneis grape towards the end of the 15th century. In fact, it is said that this white grape differentiated itself in Renesio, initially called "White Nebbiolo" due to the shape of the bunch and the size of the berries similar to Nebbiolo. In the glass it is a brilliant straw yellow color. The nose is distinguished by its intense bouquet of tropical fruits in which the aromas of pineapple and white currant stand out. The entrance on the palate is rather marked by a splendid gustatory freshness which gradually shows its true powerful and enveloping character. A fine white that accompanies the meal well but which in combination with fish and shellfish dishes, white meat and not too seasoned cheeses gives its best. Its rich and persistent finish that ends with the triumph of sapidity makes it a quality bottle that is always very welcome and able to seduce all palates.
