| Description: |
 |
The Giacomo Ascheri Cellars originated in La Morra: in that area, where a place called ''Ascheri'' still exists, in the early 19th century the first vines were planted and the first wines produced. In 1880 the winery was moved from La Morra to Bra, where it is still situated today. In a world where wines are generally produced with the same grapes, the same technology, the same wood for ageing and above all the same consultants, Ascheri's aim is to obtain a wine which is the expression of the vineyard it comes from, the grapes it was made of, and above all Giacomo Ascheri own ideas. In order to achieve this, Giacomo Ascheri have chosen a natural approach, with a moderate use of technology, without changing the nature of the wine with special procedures. They have attached new importance to old oak barrel ageing making choices entirely by ourselves. 100% Nebbiolo wine from the Sorano Estate in Serralunga d'Alba. The vineyard has South/South West facing slopes and an altitude which ranges from 280 to 350m above sea level, the vineyards in the Sorano Estate are planted with Nebbiolo and Dolcetto vines, taht produce wines which are outstanding for richness and tipicity. Harvested by hand in early and mid October the wine is aged 6 months in stainless steel tanks, 28 months in Slavonian oak, 85% old, 15% new and a further 10 months (at least) in the bottle. Garnet red colour with an ethereal bouquet, intense tar with a scent of dry flowers and a mineral note. A rich palate, balance and mature tannins contribute to the wines harmony, distinction and intensity. A remarkably classy, austere wine, with exceptional richness and tipicity with a great finish.
