Alfa Romeo

Monferrato Rosso

MONFERRATO ROSSO
Year, bottle size 2005, 0.75l
Grape Barbera d’Asti
Region Nizza Monferato
Characteristics Intense, powerful, complex, fruity and fresh bouquet, with a delicate, long aftertaste. The bright red colour is intense. To the nose, the wine smells like forest fruits, raspberry and is flavoured with vanilla.
Description The endless engagement to get the best from the Barbera d’Asti grape has become an obsession for many professional winemakers. The Scrimaglio winery is amongst the most superior from the region.
Gastronomy Its pleasant flavour makes this wine suitable for most meat dishes and semi-hard cheese, e.g. Toma di Bra.
Serve Best served between 18° and 20°.

Monferrato Bianco

MONFERRATO BIANCO
Year, bottle size 2004, 0.75l
Grape Chardonnay
Region Nizza Monferato
Characteristics Clear colour with green tints. Delicate, intense and long aftertaste. Flavours of vanilla, soft and harmonious.
Description

One of the Chardonnay grape’s main attributes is its exceptional means of adapting to soil and weather conditions. Therefore, this grape is cultivated over the entire world. It is therefore also self explicatory, that the Chardonnay grape prospers well in the Piemonte region. The use of non-processing (no, or little, handling during the ripening process) is only beneficial to the characteristic tastes of this wine.

Gastronomy A delicious wine for fish dishes, and a good accompaniment to hors d’oeuvres.
Serve Best served cold, but not too cold.

Red Label RED LABEL
Year, bottle size 1998, 0.75l / 1997 1.5l
Grape

Barbera

Region

Nizza Monferato, Agliano

Characteristics This strong wine has an intense, bright red colour with orange reflections. Furthermore you taste traces of blackberries, cherry and plum and overripe forest fruits. A strong taste, which is partly soft (through its high alcohol content) and partly complex. After the wine has ripened you taste traces of coffee beans (a little) and liquor.
Description

This wine comes from a carefully selected vineyard of over 50 years old which only produces 4,000 kilos per hectare. During two years the wine ripens in small oak barrels, so that each barrel is individually controlled for evolution. Before the wine is bottled, the purification is carried out through a traditional fashion: with a bit of egg white. This removes the bitter tannins, if they are still present. After another control, the wine’s completion is finally celebrated at the Scrimaglio winery with a real banquet. It is therefore not surprising that this wine carries a history of craftsmanship, style and tradition.

Gastronomy Ideal with strong meals, such as red meat wild mushrooms and old cheese (Parmesan).
Serve

Best served at 20-22°C after decanting a number of hours beforehand.
