Accornero, Girotondo Monferrato Nebbiolo

The Accornero family makes wines in Vignale Monferrato that are normally associated with Barbera, but this cuvée comes from a small 0.4-hectare Nebbiolo plot on an east-facing slope. Production has been limited since 2006, from vines planted in 2003. A low yield of 35 hl per hectare ensures concentration.

What you smell
Cherry and raspberry, with dried flowers and a slight earthy note underneath.

What you taste
Garnet red in the glass, elegant and refined in structure. The tannins are ripe and fine-grained: they provide grip without drying out your mouth. A salty, fresh undertone keeps the wine lively and ensures length.

How it's made
100% Nebbiolo, manually thinned in early August. Traditional vinification with submerged cap and programmed pump-overs. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation in French oak tonneaux. Twelve months of aging in 500-liter tonneaux, unfiltered, not cold-stabilized.

Serving
Serve at 16°C in a large Burgundy glass. Decanting for an hour helps the wine open up.

Pairs well with

  • Mushroom risotto: the earthy notes of the wine mirror the umami of the mushrooms, while the freshness cuts through the creaminess.
  • Roast duck with cherry sauce: the red fruit in the glass picks up the sauce, the tannins balance the fat of the duck.
  • Aged Castelmagno or Toma cheese: the salty note of the wine enhances the salt crystals in the cheese.

Accornero is wijnboer in Vignale Monferrato sinds 1897, en verkocht de druiven aanvankelijk aan de plaatselijke coöperatie. Pas in 1957 besloot Giulio Accornero zelf wijn te gaan maken. Zijn zonen zetten dat voort, en inmiddels staat ook de nieuwe generatie klaar.

Piemonte staat bekend om Barolo, maar het grootste deel van de streek doet iets anders. In Monferrato en rond Asti maken kleine huizen wijn van Barbera, Grignolino, Freisa en Ruchè, druiven die zelden verder komen dan de regio zelf.
