Syrah doc
Inspired by the winemaking experiences in France and Australia, we decided to produce an alternative red from 100% Syrah grapes. We dedicate one of our best parcels on the hills of Belveglio to grow Syrah, the variety par excellence produced in the Côte du Rhône (France). The east facing exposure allows the grapes to ripen slowly and to reach a good sugar level and polyphenols content. Grapes are hand picked in the morning and transported in the cellar. It follows then the destemming and a soft crushing. Fermentation is carried out with frequent punch-downs of the cap for about fifteen days (temperature within 24-26°C). Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are terminated, the wine is aged for 10 months in 225-liter French oak barriques. Brilliant ruby red color, on the nose notes of cherries, small red fruits, plums and spicy notes complete the primary and secondary aromas. In the mouth is fruity, fine and elegant. The medium structure allows this wine a good aging potential. The soil, highly calcareous, allows this grape to express an interesting and persistent tannic texture.
Scarzella Azienda Agricola
We are 3 brothers, third generation of a family of farmers and winemakers, together we share the love for our land and our territory.
We are in Piedmont Region, the landscape is the Monferrato Astigiano recognised as a UNESCO site since 2014 together with the wine-growing landscapes of Langhe and Roero.We have the great advantage of having a Natural Park a few meters from our property in a beautiful context which, both from a climatic and vegetational point of view, has a Mediterranean influence deriving from the Langhe area and an Alpine influence deriving, instead, from the hilly system of Turin.
Piemonte
From Asti Spumante to Barolo, the wines of Piedmont are among Italy’s most prolific and best rated. The region’s pedigree is apparent in its 58 DOC and DOCG zones, and although it is only the sixth largest producer in terms of volume, it has the highest percentage of classified wines in all of Italy. No IGT wine area is identified. This westerly region that borders with Switzerland and France is influenced by the Alps and Apennines (the name Piedmont means "foot of the mountain") and its seasons are very distinctive. Hot, dry summers, cold winters, and temperate springs and autumns are common with occasional fog during harvest time.
Undoubtedly it is the red wines that lead the way in terms of quality and cellaring potential with wines made from the noble Nebbiolo grape. The DOCGs of Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, Ghemme and Roero all represent the grape at its finest: they are complex, alluring wines with extraordinary depth and great ageing potential. Barolo ("king of wines and wine of kings") is made in the Langhe hills with its output of 6 million bottles a year far exceeding that of Barbaresco at less than 2.5 million.
