Tenuta Il Cascinone offers here an interesting Pinot Noir in purity. Piedmont DOC, Avamposti Ventura originates in the heart of Alto Monferrato, south of the province of Asti. Here the hills enjoy good exposure and rise to an altitude of between 200 and 400 metres above sea level. These slopes benefit from an ideal microclimate for growing vines, thanks to the clayey soils with a strong limestone component that give the vines the right water balance and a unique minerality. Harvesting is done manually, carefully selecting the best bunches. After a soft pressing, the must ferments at a controlled temperature to preserve the delicate aromas of the initial fruit. Subsequent maturation takes place in French oak barrels, which give the wine complexity and structure without overpowering the characteristic fruity aromas. To the eye, Avamposti Ventura has a brilliant ruby red colour, anticipating its vivacity. On the nose, it offers an intense and complex bouquet, dominated by notes of raspberries, strawberries and berries, accompanied by delicate hints of spices and undergrowth. In the mouth, the texture is silky, with a fine, well-integrated tannic weave. Ripe red fruit flavours blend with fresh acidity, creating a perfect balance. The finish is long and persistent, characterised by a pleasant return of the fruity notes. An extremely versatile wine, this Pinot Noir is perfect with meat dishes, such as roasts and braised meats, as well as game and white meats. It should also be tried with stuffed pasta dishes, such as ravioli and agnolotti, which can enhance its complexity and elegance.
