Description

The Prepotto Cru is obtained from a careful selection of perfectly ripen grapes from low-yield vineyards, aged in small barrels for 24 months. At once concentrated and broad, with suave but densely packed red fruit and sweet spice flavours. It boasts a lovely almost pinot noir-esque tang and underlying mineral complexity.
“A true thoroughbred, with a strong personality. A terroir wine produced in its own sub-zone, where the indigenous Schioppettino grapes express their full potential. Obtained with very low yields from carefully selected bunches, hand-picked at their perfect ripeness. Vinified with indigenous yeasts, it matures for 24 months in wood and 12 in the bottle. Intense red colour and perfume characterised by a seductive spicy note typical of the variety”

Excellent with velvety mushroom soups, fermented cheeses, roast meat and game, chicken tikka masala, Singapore-style rice noodles and sweet and sour dishes.
