- ROSSO 'MONSORDO' CERETTO 2021 DESCRIPTION
- "Monsordo" is a red from the famous Piedmontese winery Ceretto, which was born from the desire to also compete with the great international vines. The wine is produced with two noble Bordeaux vines: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, combined with Syrah, the most famous variety grown in the Rhone Valley. An unusual blend, which gives an intense red, with aromas of berries, ripe red fruit and spices. The sip is complex, soft and broad, with balanced freshness and a finish on the typical black pepper notes of Syrah.
- The Rosso “Monsordo” is born in the Tenuta Monsordo Bernardina, which extends in the Alba area, with a surface area of about thirty hectares, cultivated around the historic Casolare home of the Cantina Ceretto. During the 90s, alongside the traditional native red grape varieties, some international vines were planted, to evaluate their adaptation and concrete potential in the terroir of the Langhe. The vines were grown at about 300 meters above sea level, on soils composed of clay, silt and sand. After some experiments with pure vinification, in 1997 the project was born to create a blended wine, combining the grapes that had best acclimatized to the territory: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The three varieties are harvested and vinified separately, following their different maturation periods. The fermentations are carried out in steel vats at a controlled temperature and the different wines are refined in tonneaux for 16 months before proceeding to the final blending and subsequent bottling.
- The “Monsordo” wine is a red with a typically international profile, which completes the Ceretto range, with an eye to the tastes of foreign markets. The use of French vines, known throughout the world, makes it easy to interpret and the long aging in wood, helps to give a soft, harmonious and slightly bois face, particularly appreciated by foreign consumers. The color is intense ruby red, On the nose it opens on aromas of morello cherry, small berries, nuances of jam, cherries in alcohol and spices. On the palate it has a good structure, with deep and persistent aromas, an evolved and well
- integrated tannic texture. The finish is harmonious, with pleasant spicy notes.
