The wine company Centovigne cannot be discussed without starting from its fairytale context: the unique castle of Castellengo. We are in a hamlet of Cossato, Biella, near the coast of Sesia and next to the Cervo river, and on top of a small hill stands this historic residence. Alessandro and Magda, with a lot of dynamism and perseverance, are restoring and restoring this castle building to its former glory. For years, this has been the ideal location for prestigious weddings and the couple and their entourage can spend the night onsite in one of the castle rooms, tastefully decorated by Magda.
The vineyards are spread over the surrounding land and are divided into many small parcels: hence the name "Centovigne", but also a wide variety of soils and thus possible oenological choices. The productive approach is aimed at minimizing or even without the use of chemical products: interesting in this sense is the recovery of old cement tanks to reduce the use of other materials and to improve the heritage of selected grapes as much as possible.
We tasted the Rosso della Motta 2015: 80% Nebbiolo grapes, aged in cement tanks and then 12 months in oak barrels. Bright, ruby red, the nose releases an irresistible floral vinosity: undoubtedly the best feature, which stands out with clear tones of flowers, red pulp, jam, tones of wood and leather just hinted and delicate.
Rosso della Motta 2015 is the perfect wine for those who want to grow in tasting wine from the soft tannins to the harder tannins of Barolos etc...in their younger years. We consider it the perfect wine for late summer friends dinners or just as a glass at the tube with some delicious appetizers.
