Castello di Tassarolo Rosa Spinola Monferrato Chiaretto 2021
13% abv
This wine is produced with 100% purest organic Nebbiolo grapes from the Comune of Fubine. These beautiful vineyards are farmed organically. The Nebbiolo, considered to be one of the best vines in the world, marries well with the estate’s natural philosophy. The Chiaretto is a delicate but profound rose colour with orange and straw highlights. A fresh, floral and crushed berry aroma leads to a rich and vibrant palate with lovely stony minerality.
In the words of the winery:
“In fact by using a vinification process suitable for whites with this red, which foresees the immediate separation of the must from the skin for grapes freshly harvested, one obtains a natural rosiness, without invasive enological interventions or the use of foreign additives, conserving the authenticity of the Nebbiolo grape. To characterize this wine, an innate living warmth that encloses all the potential of this grape, which transmutes into an unexpected alchemical longevity.”
