Celso Zero - Cascina Boccaccio

Celso Zero - Cascina Boccaccio

The Celso Zero by Cascina Boccaccio is a fresh and pleasant red wine, which comes from a blend of red berried grapes. The grapes are harvested manually starting from mid-September and are left to ferment spontaneously in the cellar using only indigenous yeasts. Then follows a semi-carbonic maceration of the must in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks with a variable duration ranging from 7 to 14 days. The wine ages in steel and no clarification or filtration is done at the time of bottling. On the nose, hints of berries, cherries and floral notes stand out. On the palate it is dry and pleasantly tannic.

Service

It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip glasses. Daily wine, but if left in the cellars a few years can give great emotions.

Pairings

It goes well with first courses, vegetable soups, white meats and semi-mature cheeses.

Winery: Cascina Boccaccio

Cascina Boccaccio is a family-run winery, located in the municipality of Tagliolo Monferrato, a town located on the hills of Alto Monferrato on the border with the Ligurian hinterland. The owner of the winery is Roberto Porciello, who together with his wife Ileana is dedicated to creating labels that tell the story of Ovada's terroir. The history of the winery begins in 1875, when Roberto's great-grandfather, Celso, built the foundations of the current winery. The vineyards, managed in a biodynamic regime, extend over an area of ​​about 7 hectares, of which 3 hectares of ancient vineyards belonging to the family and 4 hectares of vineyards recovered from abandonment in the Rocca Grimalda area. The terroir consists of clayey-limestone soils with a mild climate influenced by the sea wind that comes from nearby Liguria. Among the rows, we find Dolcetto vines, mainly Barbera and Cortese. In the cellar all the processes are carried out manually, reducing human intervention as much as possible and leaving space for nature, creating original products for each vintage.
