The wine region of Valcalepio
Lombard DOC in the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia (since 1976). Bordeaux-style blend signatures in red: Merlot (40-90%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10-60%) with blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, tobacco and a herbal touch, firm tannins, min. 1 year ageing (3 years in Riserva). Fresh white Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco with Pinot Grigio (citrus, apple, white flowers).
The wine region of Lombardia
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
The word of the wine: Overmaturation
When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
