\"\"<\/a>The estate, located in Monforte d’Alba, was founded in the 1950’s by Ferdinando’s father Americo.\u00a0 Ferdinando took over the estate from his father in 1993 and since 2004, Ferdinando has removed all chemicals from the vinification process, including sulfur (which he has almost completely eliminated except for a pinch in his Barolo).\u00a0 His viticulture practice also respects nature and the grapes she gives by eliminating all industrial fertilizers, herbicides, etc.\u00a0 Natural yeasts spontaneously ferment his wines without the control of temperature.\u00a0 The resulting wines are fresh, juicy and easy to drink on their own, but just like most real wine, pair fantastically with food.\u00a0 His 2005 Barolo Serralunga was a perfect companion with a fresh whale course that we were serving up at the restaurant last month.\u00a0\u00a0 Approximate annual production is about 50,000 bottles total.<\/p>\n

2009 Dolcetto d’Alba Sant’Anna<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The grapes for this wine come from the Sant’Anna vineyard in Monforte d’Alba.\u00a0 The grapes are planted with a density of about 5000 vines\/HA at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level.\u00a0 Harvest occurred at the end of September and of course is by hand.\u00a0 Fermentation in stainless steel was spontaneous and continued on the skins for about 20 days without temperature control.\u00a0 The wine then remained in the tanks for about 10 months before being bottled.\u00a0 Approximately 5000 bottles were produced.<\/p>\n

Date tasted: <\/strong>July 15th, 2010 1800<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Appearance: <\/strong>Med dark\u00a0 red with purple edges. Very young looking, and of course it is!<\/p>\n

Nose:<\/strong> Very open and floral.\u00a0 Medium intense nose of raspberries, cherries and plums.<\/p>\n

Palate<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201csweet\u201d red fruit. Raspberries & cherries. Medium tannins and medium acidity.\u00a0 Very balanced and well-integrated alcohol.\u00a0 Very fresh wine with a medium-long finish.<\/p>\n

2008 Barbera d’Alba Laura<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The grapes for this vineyard come from a tiny 1ha vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba.\u00a0 Planting density is about 4000 vines\/HA at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level.\u00a0 Exposure of this small vineyard is S-SW.\u00a0 The grapes are harvested by hand then spontaneously fermented without temperature control in stainless steel tanks.\u00a0 The juice stays on the skins for about 30 days, with manual remontage of the grapes.\u00a0 The wine is left in the tanks for 10 months following fermentation.\u00a0 About 8000 bottles produced.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Date tasted: <\/strong>July 15th, 2010 1800<\/p>\n

Appearance: <\/strong>Med-dark red with purple, youthful edges<\/p>\n

Nose: <\/strong>Slightly reductive and closed initially.\u00a0 With some swirling, the wine opens up to reveal blackberry, black currant, raspberry and purple gooseberry.\u00a0 Hints of blueberry.\u00a0 Very slight floral component. Medium intense<\/p>\n

Palate<\/strong>:\u00a0 Blackberries initially, then mostly red fruit.\u00a0 The red fruit revealed itself much more on the palate then on the nose.\u00a0 Mild tannins with medium + acidity.\u00a0 Well Balanced fruit & acidity.\u00a0 Alcohol is pretty well-integrated, but you can feel it a bit at the back of the throat with a slight sweetness (this wine needs some grilled veggies or meat!)<\/p>\n

Until this year, Ferdinando’s wines were not available in Norway.\u00a0 But they are now being imported by a small importer focusing on organic, real wines.\u00a0 The Dolcetto will be available on the main wine monopoly’s shelves for about 159 Norwegian Kroner (approx $25) sometime this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
