Monferrato DOC was founded in 1994 and includes a variety of wines produced within the homonymous historical-geographical region of Piedmont, and more specifically in the provinces of Alessandria and Asti. The versatility of the product is given by the assembly of some extraordinary native vines such as Nebbiolo and Barbera, which give life to the most famous and beloved wines from Piedmont, with other international ones such as Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Blends in various percentages create products united by great quality but different in the results: ranging from bottles of traditional conception to others in which the taste for wine experimentation prevails. According to the production disciplinary, which indicates with extreme precision the rules of vinification, the eight types of Monferrato DOC are specified, including Rosso, Bianco, Cortese or Casalese, Nebbiolo and Nebbiolo Superiore.
Varied production and quality
The specificities of the soil in which these varieties are grown are changing: it is a calcareous, alkaline, clay, loamy and sandy soil in different combinations, which gives rise to products rich in fruity notes. The care towards the extreme quality of Monferrato wine is confirmed by the fact that maximum production limits have been established, which can be exceeded only by twenty percent and only in particularly favorable years. Vinification itself is allowed only in the two provinces of production and in those of Cuneo and Turin.
As for whites, companies such as Pico Maccario Winery offer wines from Monferrato from a terroir rich in minerals: the favorable climate, excellent exposure and aging in steel give a complex aroma with hints of fruit and flowers. On the palate they are dry, full and harmonious, and combine with vegetable and vegetarian meals. The Casalese has Cortese grapes for at least eighty-five percent, a dry and savory taste and goes well with delicate appetizers, soft cheeses, fish dishes and light soups.
Characteristics of reds
In the different varieties that are part of the catalogue of red wines Monferrato shows all its range of possible declinations. Producers such as Montalbera Winery offer Rosso bottles, made from Barbera and Ruché grapes and vinified at controlled temperatures. The color is ruby, which tends to orange with aging. The scent is intense, with hints of red fruits and apricot. Delicate to the taste, it is recommended together with meat dishes and regional specialties such as agnolotti with meat sauce.
Among the structured solutions we find the Ruché in purity: aged in French oak barrels and then in the bottle, it is a ruby color tending to garnet. The aroma is intense and persistent, with hints of berries and oriental spices, and the taste on the palate is powerful and persistent. Ideal pairing with meat dishes, even roast.
