Montalbera Laccento

Laccento is a more concentrated, limited edition Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG, partly from overripe grapes harvested directly in the vineyard.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red with slight purple reflections in youth, turning garnet after the first few years in the bottle. Intense, persistent, slightly aromatic and fruity nose with aromas typical of wild berries and jam. Warm on the palate, pleasant, with rare silkiness.
