Maggiorina Vino Rosso Le Piane 2021

Over ten different types of grapes, including the Croatina and the Nebbiolo, make the red wine called Maggiorina. The grapes are picked up in old vineyards planted following an ancient method, the Maggiorina one, from which the wine takes the name. It is a very particular method of cultivation, created by the architect Antonelli (the same that designed the Mole Antonelliana in Turin). The Maggiorina by Le Piane is a yelted, mineral and spiced red wine. The color of this wine is ruby red; to the nose, it is yelted and complex with pleasan perfumes of rose, cherry and raspberries. With its tannic final, it is perfect if combined with second dishes of meat for example with raviolis wit ragout sauce.

The winery Le Piane, previously owned by Antonio Cerri, now is managed by Christoph Kuenzli and it includes 9 hectares of vineyards on the hills of Novara, inside the new DOC Boca. The wines that Le Piane produced are an expression of a terrain of volcanic origin and are the result of a careful selection of grapes in the vineyards, most of which are still cultivated with the traditional system called ”Maggiorina”. Christoph Kuenzli has the merit for having made known the Boca’s wines all over the world and for having relaunched a wine territory that was destined to disappear.
