Alpha 2020 Montepeloso

Alpha 2020

火打石の畑から、スパイスとタバコの陰影。

火打石や化石化した粘土を含む土壌で、有機農法により育てられた樹齢8〜20年のぶどうから。フレンチオークで発酵させ、8か月の熟成を経ています。フルーツのコンポートを思わせるアロマに、スパイスとタバコのニュアンスが加わって複雑さを描きます。ブラックチェリーやブラックプラム、黒胡椒の風味が輪郭を際立たせ、緻密なタンニンと生き生きとした酸が全体を支えます。リゾットや白身肉、鶏肉とともに。

Tasting note

Alpha expresses great complexity with fruity aromas like fruit compote, spices and tobacco with a very distinctive structure. Characteristic nuances of black cherry, black plum and black pepper highlight each individual character. A fruity red wine with a strong body and overwhelming acidity, the lively structure spreads pleasantly in the mouth with fine tannins.

Food pairing

risotto, white meat, chicken
