Winery: Chateau Gusheng Grape variety: Alba Appellation: Piedmont Packing: 750ml/6 Grade: DOC Alcohol: 14.0% Vol Vinification process: The grapes are hand-picked, pressed and destemmed, and fermented in large stainless steel vats for one week in maceration at a controlled temperature of 25-28°C, during which the skins are repeatedly drenched in order to extract the most beautiful color and excellent body of the wine. The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation, six months of barrel aging in large oak barrels, followed by 12 months of barrel aging in 30-liter barrels, and finally a minimum of 4 months of aging in bottle. Taste description: Deep and intense ruby color, with intense aromas of blueberries and red berries and warm notes of roasted coffee and leather. The palate is round and full-bodied, with a texture of power and firm tannins that soften the fruit aromas, making this an excellent and enjoyable wine. Wine Pairing: Perfectly suited to the most flavorful dishes of the culture of the Monferrato region, especially meat dishes.
