This important wine is made with grapes from two hillside plots located in Gudo, a district of Bellinzona, on the right bank of the Ticino River. These, oriented perfectly to the south have perfect exposure and very specific microclimates that are optimal for producing great wines. In addition, the vineyard located at Costa Piatta takes advantage of light breezes from the Gudo valleys that allow the vineyard to hold up well to various annual weather situations. Vinification is Bordeaux-style with maceration for about 20 days in steel vats at a controlled temperature of 27-30 degrees. After malo-lactic fermentation, the wine is put into new 225-liter French oak barrels. Aging depending on the vintage varies from 15 to 18 months.
Set in an unparalleled landscape, where hills drawn by vineyards frame a rural plain, Gudo is a small town where the grapevine has ancient roots. On the right bank of the Ticino River, the microclimate of the Gudese lands is ideal for producing wines of the highest quality. To discover these lands is to enjoy nature that is always in celebration.
Happily embedded in this palette of colors, the Sasso Chierico Estate covers six hectares where the harvests are repeatedly excellent year after year. Here the Antognini family, looks at their vines, as old as forty years, with the proud eyes of those who have always believed in quality, convinced that terroir should be caressed like a child. An authentic encounter with the civilization of vine and wine.
Those grapes pampered throughout the season and then vinified with passion and expertise by winemaker Luca Biffi are now encased in bottles with an elegant label. Wines that have the typical imprint of this terroir, wines that are masculine but never harsh. Wines that are an expression of a punctilious and thoughtful pursuit of quality. Wines that enchant because they are children of their land. Wines of terroir.
A meeting you won’t forget.
