Vigneti Massa Monleale 2018

The Monleale from Vigneti Massa is a red of great strength and emotion, crafted by the legendary Italian winemaker Walter Massa. Walter, a true icon in Italian winemaking, is a pioneer in viticulture focused on the absolute enhancement of territory and indigenous grape varieties. Renowned as the maestro of Timorasso, he was the first local vintner to recognize its true potential, paving the way for several talented followers. Walter's vision is a wine that faithfully narrates its homeland, minimizing human intervention in both vineyard and cellar. The Monleale red, primarily Barbera from 300m altitude vineyards on limestone-rich soil, exemplifies this approach. Fermented spontaneously and macerated for 10-12 days, it presents a garnet robe and a nose evoking wet earth, cherry liqueur, peat, and cocoa. The palate is full, charming, and vibrant, featuring refined tannins that shine in gastronomic contexts. A must-try wine.
