Ca’Viola’s “RANGONE” is a crisp, broad, elegant and complex red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo , from Gray silty marls alternating with yellow-reddish sands and sandstones (Lequio Formation). The name Rangone has ancient roots and comes from the Counts Rangone of Montelupo Albese. Harvested on the first decade October, the vinification process starts with fermentation for 15 days (temperature-controlled tanks with 10/20% whole grapes), followed by maceration for 10-15 days. Ageing and refinement for a period of 8-10 months in large barrels. The appearance is ruby red with garnet hues. The nose is very crisp, with remarkable breadth and complexity, with notes of dark fruit, underbrush and wet earth in evidence. The mouth is more elegant and powerful, with a “Burgundian” atmosphere, snappy yet austere, with well-developed silky tannins. A long and satisfying finish, with nice recall of the fruit. Food match: this austere Nebbiolo will accompany with elegance your game and stews courses. Matured and old cheeses will also wonderfully match this small king. Recommended serving-temperature of 14/16°C.
