'Pianas' Grignolino d'Asti DOC Cascina Carlot 2020

Pianas Grignolino d'Asti DOC is a fragrant red wine produced by the Piedmontese winery Cascina Carlot . It is obtained from the single-variety vinification of grapes from the local Grignolino vine, grown on the Costigliole d'Asti plot. The vineyards facing east are located on soils with predominantly calcareous-clayey substrates. With a view to minimizing the environmental impact, meticulous work is carried out between the rows until the moment of manual harvesting. Only healthy bunches that are perfectly ripe are chosen to be transported to the cellar. Here the grapes are destemmed and placed in temperature-controlled tanks, where fermentation and maceration last for about two weeks. The refinement involves an initial passage of 4 months in steel tanks and a rest of another 2 months in glass after bottling. Pianas Grignolino d'Asti DOC is a red that lends itself to being enjoyed when young, when the varietal characteristics emerge.
