Issu des Langhe, dans le Piémont, la cuvée Memorie est née de l’association de deux cépages emblématiques de la région : le Nebbiolo et la Freisa. Le Nebbiolo provient de jeunes vignes situées dans les environs de Barbaresco, tandis que la Freisa est issue de vignobles familiaux du Roero. Cette cuvée rend hommage à la tradition viticole piémontaise et au vin élaboré autrefois par le grand-père de Gabriele. Les pratiques culturales respectueuses du vivant et les sols caractéristiques des collines des Langhe permettent d’exprimer un vin authentique, frais et profondément attaché à son terroir.

Les raisins sont vendangés manuellement, avec une récolte conjointe du Nebbiolo et de la Freisa, cette dernière présentant un léger passerillage au moment de la récolte. Les deux cépages fermentent spontanément avec leurs levures indigènes dans d’anciennes cuves en béton. La cuvée est ensuite élevée pendant environ 8 mois dans ces mêmes contenants, afin de préserver la fraîcheur et l’expression du fruit. Le vin est mis en bouteille sans filtration ni stabilisation, puis poursuit son évolution en bouteille. Cette approche peu interventionniste privilégie ainsi la vitalité, la finesse et l’identité naturelle du vin.

Ce vin dévoile des notes de cerise rouge, de fraise des bois, de rhubarbe, de framboise, de violette, d'hibiscus, d’eucalyptus et de lavande. En bouche, l’attaque est souple et énergique, portée par un fruit croquant et une belle fraîcheur. La matière, juteuse et tactile, s’appuie sur des tanins fins qui apportent du relief sans alourdir l’ensemble. La finale, fraîche et légèrement épicée, prolonge les sensations fruitées et végétales avec une belle vivacité, donnant à cette cuvée un caractère gourmand et digeste.

Where are we traveling?

Piedmont

One of the best ways to discover Piedmont is through its wines. Take a journey through the region and you'll discover a whole range of styles: bold, age-worthy reds, dry, delicate whites, or sweet, sparkling wines like Moscato d'Asti. If you didn't already know, Piedmont is one of Italy's most renowned wine regions. The Piedmont region is located in northwest Italy. Piedmont's geographical location makes it unique, as it also shares a border with France and Switzerland. It is therefore one of the only regions in Italy that borders both countries. Piedmont is a mountainous region thanks to its Alpine surroundings, with vast areas of hills and a diverse landscape. While summer conditions are similar for wine production between Piedmont and the Bordeaux region, the former experiences much colder temperatures during the winter months and significantly less rainfall throughout the year thanks to the rainfall effect of the Alps.

The little history of the country

Italy

product descriptions logo

Ah Italy, what a beautiful hedonistic country, people of the Dolce Vita, but what difficulty in understanding its wine organization! The key to understanding the naming system in Italy is to think of it as several small countries rather than a single homogeneous country because each region has its own naming system. Italy can, however, give wine lovers a multitude of wines with varied and unique flavors and styles, as well as bottles filled with surprise and creativity. Unfortunately, it also produces a large quantity of soulless and characterless wines which are sold under their most useful and commercially reputable name: Pinot Grigio, Chianti, Valpolicella, Lambrusco, Prosecco and many others... But let's talk a little history, viticulture in Italy dates back to ancient times and it originated in Greece. The Etruscans would have planted vines and Greek immigrants would have improved and modified the grape varieties who subsequently called this country "Oenotria": the country of wine. At the height of the Roman Empire, wine held an important place in daily life and certain regions already stood out for the excellence of their product. The Romans also established numerous vineyards in Europe, leaving an indelible testimony to their invasion. Today Italy is the largest wine producer in the world, ahead of France. Italy is divided into three climatic areas. The northern mountains experience a fairly harsh mountain climate. The “middle of the boot” plain is the domain of the continental climate with cold winters and hot, stormy summers. In the "southern part of the Italian boot" the Mediterranean climate reigns with very hot and very dry summers without forgetting the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. In summary, Italy produces wines of great variety thanks to its 200 different grape varieties, many of which originate from their lands. It is a country just as complex as its wines which deserve to be explored!
