Monferrato Albarossa DOC "1491" 2010 Castello di Uviglie
The Monferrato Albarossa DOC "1491" 2010 from Castello di Uviglie highlights the unique qualities of the Albarossa grape, a hybrid of Nebbiolo and Barbera. Deep ruby red in color, its aromatic profile is rich with notes of blueberry, plum, and forest berries, enhanced by hints of cinnamon and black pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with silky, velvety tannins providing smoothness and roundness. The finish is long and satisfying, balancing fruity and spicy notes perfectly.
Aged for 18-20 months in barrique, followed by six months of bottle refinement, this wine preserves the varietal fruitiness of Albarossa while developing complex tertiary aromas from its time in wood. Ideal with roasted pork, medium-aged cheeses, or other earthy dishes, it offers exceptional quality at a great value.
