About the region:
Monferrato, in the heart of Piedmont, is known for its hilly vineyards and diverse microclimates, which produce a wide range of wines. The region's rich soils, combined with the Mediterranean climate, allow for the cultivation of both traditional and international grape varieties.
About the grape varieties:
This wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Albarossa. Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure, tannins, and deep fruit flavors, while Albarossa, a native Piemonte variety, adds aromatic complexity and freshness.
Style and tasting notes:
The Duedidue Monferrato Rosso 2017 is deep red in color with purple hues. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, blackberries, and subtle notes of spice, vanilla, and coffee from aging in oak barrels. The palate is full-bodied with a smooth texture, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish with hints of dark chocolate and spice.
Trivia:
The name ""Duedidue"" refers to the combination of two varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Albarossa, symbolizing the marriage of international and local grape varieties. The wine is aged in French oak barriques, which enhances its complexity and structure."
