Description

An unusual red but unusual in the very best sense. Savoury, smoky but fresh, it has juicy fruit and lively acidity making it hugely moreish and enjoyable. Naturally vilified, it has a slight spritz which may explain the choice in closure - crown cap.

Cascina Degli Ulivi

Founded by the late Stefano Bellotti in the 1970s, Cascina degli Ulivi has become a symbol of natural winemaking, with a holistic approach that integrates farming, winemaking, and respect for the environment. The estate is farmed biodynamically, with a focus on creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where the vineyards, animals, and crops coexist in harmony. Cascina degli Ulivi cultivates a variety of indigenous grape varieties, including Cortese, Barbera, and Dolcetto, on its rolling hills, all without the use of synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. In the cellar, the philosophy is equally hands-off. The wines are fermented with native yeasts, without the addition of sulfites, and are aged in large, old oak barrels to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir.

Piedmont

Piedmont or Piemonte, located in northwestern Italy, is renowned for its prestigious and diverse wines. The region's varied climate and rich soils, particularly in the Langhe and Monferrato areas, are ideal for viticulture. It is famous for its robust reds, especially Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape, known for their complex aromas, rich tannins, and ageing potential. It also excels in Barbera, producing wines with vibrant acidity and cherry notes, and Dolcetto, offering fruit-forward, approachable reds. On the white side, Gavi, made from the Cortese grape, is known for its crisp, refreshing character. Piemonte’s blend of traditional winemaking techniques and modern innovations offers a rich and sophisticated wine experience.
