Grignolino d’Asti doc
Grignolino is a red vine variety with a personality all of its own that we are proud to grow and vinify, our territory is one of the most renowned for the production of this native variety, considered the Prince of our hills. The bunches harvested in the morning in the coolest hours are placed in small boxes and quickly transported to the cellar. A soft crushing follows and begins its fermentation in small steel tanks, then we carry out daily, delicate pumping over to extract the natural colour from the skins. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are completed, the wine is left to rest for a couple of months in steel tanks and several weeks in the bottle. To the eye it offers a bright ruby red colour with orange nuances. The nose is dominated by notes of small red fruits, sage, chamomile flowers and dried fruit. In the mouth it shows direct, with a delicate tannic texture. The natural acidity of the grapes makes it a fresh, delicate and refined wine, the drink is easy and persuasive.
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.
