Monferrato Rosso DOC 'La Mandorla di Mauro' 2022 (750 ml.) Luigi Spertino
The Monferrato Rosso 'La Mandorla di Mauro' by Luigi Spertino is a powerful red wine with great concentration that is produced only in certain vintages, instead of the historic Barbera d'Asti Vigna La Mandorla. The overripe grapes come from the vineyard located on the homonymous hill La Mandorla at about 230 meters above sea level, where there are vines over 60 years old. On the nose, the aromas are pronounced with notes of ripe red fruit, flowers, and spices. On the palate, it is robust and of great concentration, but with a fresh vein that provides perfect balance. Long and intense finish.

THE WINE
The Monferrato Rosso 'La Mandorla di Mauro' by Luigi Spertino is a powerful red wine with great concentration that is produced only in certain vintages, instead of the historic Barbera d'Asti Vigna La Mandorla. The overripe grapes come from the vineyard located on the homonymous hill La Mandorla at about 230 meters above sea level, where vines over 60 years old are found. On the nose, the aromas are pronounced with notes of ripe red fruit, flowers, and spices. On the palate, it is strong and highly concentrated, but with a fresh vein that gives it perfect balance. Long and intense finish.
Luigi Spertino and then Mauro Spertino, a family tradition that continues for generations in the promotion of the Grignolino grape in the land of Monferrato. We are in the Asti area, in the small municipality of Mombercelli, where since 1977 Luigi has officially produced (because before it was sold in bulk) characterful and high-quality wines, the result of sustainable and laborious viticulture. Deeply connected to his land, a master of ancient farming practices and an unstoppable winemaker, at over 90 years of age he follows his son Mauro, today the soul and heir of this small prominent reality in the Piedmontese panorama. However, Luigi's work does not stop, and even though he cannot physically participate in vineyard activities, he watches with a big smile as his son works and gets emotional every harvest when he sees the first bunch.
Mauro, just like his father, is a curious, humble, and competent man; his wines testify to his abilities in the cellar.
The vineyards of Luigi Spertino are located in Mandorle on grassy soils characterized by a steep slope. The estate is divided into two slopes with different exposures. On one side are the old Barbera vineyards facing west, and on the other side, the young rows of Pinot Noir looking west. Additionally, besides the steep Cortese vineyards, there are extraordinary plots of Grignolino, one officially acquired in Mombercelli and another very suited in the historic sandy area of Portacomaro. All operations are carried out manually, with no tractors, to prevent the soil from becoming too compact and dense. Also in the cellar, Mauro has chosen a respectful and minimally invasive approach that aims only to let the grape juice gently transform into wine.
The wines reflect the entire peasant soul of these lands and the respectful and artisanal work of the Spertino family. Expressions of character and personality, simple landscape portraits that recall the taste of ancient tradition and pay homage to the place where they come to life. A limited production that stands out among the hills of Monferrato, the land of Barbera, for the timeless Grignolino wine, a classic of tradition that manages to smooth out all the rough edges of the variety and bring an incisive and gentle sip to the glass.
