Vecchie Tonneaux 2023 – Monte Maletto

Vecchie Tonneaux  – Monte Maletto 

Vecchie Tonneaux di Monte Maletto is a white wine made from 100% White grapes. The harvested grapes are crushed and left in the press for one night before starting the fermentation in steel and finishing it in exhausted tonneaux that are fifteen years old, for a stay with frequent bâtonnages for about a year. This is followed by 4 months of stabilization in the bottle. The malolactic fermentation depends on the vintage. With a fairly deep yellow color, it is a consistent white with aromas of beeswax, citrus and mint. Complex and with an engaging evolution in the glass, on the palate it is tasty and invigorated by a fruity fragrance that closes with a delicious almond note.

Service

Serve it  at a temperature of 8/10° in tulip glasses. Great wine for every day. It is advisable to keep it in a cool cellar, damp and dark horizontal.

Pairing

Perfect to accompany substantial first courses, it is excellent to be paired with spaghetti carbonara.

The winery: Monte Maletto

Carema is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating wine-growing areas in Italy, and Gian Marco Viano's story is a living testimony to this. His love for wine blossomed during his years as a sommelier, when every trip from his hometown of Ivrea to the Hotel Bellevue in Cogne fueled his passion. This love turned into a true vocation, which led Gian Marco to realize his dream at Monte Maletto, an enchanting place that owes its name to the Alpe that watches over the vineyards. His adventure, however, would not have been the same without the important support of Maurizio Curto, a friend and mentor who shared this challenge with him. Together, they are part of a Nouvelle Vague of Carema producers, a movement that brings innovation and hope for the future of local viticulture. We are proud to have been alongside Gian Marco since the beginning of his journey, supporting a vision that celebrates the tradition and authenticity of an extraordinary territory. Passion, sacrifices and a pinch of madness have made this dream possible, and we can't wait to discover what other wonders Carema has in store for us.
