Natalin di Iuli is a pure Grignolino, Fabrizio's tribute to his grandfather Gioacchino Natale, known to all as "Natalin di Iuli". This was his most beloved grape variety. It has always been a presence in this area; in 2016, Fabrizio replanted it on the same hill where Natalin di Iuli had planted his first vineyard, and since 2017 he has also rented another old vineyard (1970-1990). We are in Montaldo di Cerrina Monferrato, at around 300 meters above sea level, on loose, calcareous-clayey soils, with east-west-north exposures. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in cement tanks with maceration for about 12 days, then, once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine continues to rest in cement for another 6-8 months. It is bottled under a good late spring moon (following his grandfather's tradition), without clarification or filtration, and waits another 2 months before being released to the market.

NATALIN IULI: TASTING

PLACEHOLDER_WINE presents itself with a bright ruby color. On the nose, it is lively, rich in red fruits, acidic flowers, forest balsams, and hints of spices; in the mouth, it is fresh, with delicate tannins and a touch of salinity. An excellent wine to start the evening, it pairs perfectly with cured meats, for example with the legendary Bra sausage.
