Mon Ross Barbera d'Asti docg Forteto della Luja 2021

Barbera d’Asti Mon Ross by Forteto della Luja is a prestigious red wine with a strong character, produced with grapes coming from the family estate, grown following organic methods and respecting the nature. The wine shows a beautiful ruby red colour with purple shades. The bouquet is various and fruity with scents of red fruits and rose. The sip is fresh and elegant. We recommend it with pasta, white and red meat, mature cheese, minestrone and the traditional Bagna Caoda recipe. 

Forteto della Luja is not only a cave, but also an oasis, in the real sense of the word: here the Scaglione family inhabits from more than six generations. The cave goes back up 1700 and in the past it was only used to produce a little part of wine for personal use, while the other part was sold. Moreover, in the past the family produces fruits and cheeses, too. Nowadays Giancarlo Scaglione is the manager of the cave and, together with his sons, produces some wines in a traditional way, without the use of any kind of weed killer in vineyards. The typical wines of this cave are: Forteto della Luja, Forteto Pian Dei Sogni, Le Grive, Mon Ross and Piasa San Maurizio.
