La Cesa takes its name from the former owners of the plot where one of the estate's most important Barbera vineyards stands: the land once belonged to the Catholic Church of Montabone, which in the Piedmontese dialect is called 'Cesa'. A name that carries history, just like the wine itself.
The finest grapes from the vineyard are selected at high sugar levels and fermented using the traditional red method, with a long maceration on the skins for maximum extraction of aromas, body and colour. After a resting period in stainless steel, 60% of the wine goes into new French oak barriques of 220 litres for 12 months, while 40% ages in cement vats. Once the oak ageing is complete, both parts are blended to balance the flavours: fruit forward, not oak-driven. The wine then ages a further 18 months in bottle before release. In the glass, La Cesa is an intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is full and ripe: dried roses, vanilla, pepper and plum jam. On the palate it is full-bodied and rich with soft tannins and a long, warm finish.
La Cesa pairs excellently with flavoursome meat dishes, game and aged cheeses. Well cellared, it can improve for many years to come. Serve at 16-18°C.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
