Monchiero Carbone
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.

From the Mombirone cru, one of the hills surrounding the town of Canale. the family wine tradition was born, since in 1918 the great-grandmother Clotilde bought the first small plot, already then planted with Barbera vines, where the excellent results of the vine on the clay-limestone soils of this hill had long been recognized.
