  From Monferrato, Piedmont. After long maceration on the skins the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts. The winery applies minimal use of sulfur dioxide and excludes the use of any other additives. The wine is bottled unfiltered.
  
  The wine needed some aeration and opened up after a few minutes in a small decanter. It had a nice, light orange-golden colour and showed citrus, peach, apricot, orange peel, almond and earthy notes, and finished lightly tannic and dry. The medium-bodied wine was slightly rustic, but very energetic, with lots of finesse and very good persistence. It paired O.K.-ish with a mild Indian curry, but I liked it best on its own. The wine showed equally well on day two. I would not serve it too cold, preferably around 13 or 14 degrees Celsius, and drink it now and over the next five years.
