Poderi Aldo Bertelli – Plissè 1998
€85.00
The winery is located in Costigliole d’Asti in the Monferrato astigiano. Evidence of the agricultural property date back to 1400, but in isn’t until the second half of the XX Century that the heirs of the family decided to work with wine, producing a series of unique labels, every one a discovery.
In fact the producer, a passionate experimenter, works hard to aim at quality as well as longevity in his wines, with a series of studies on local varieties as well as on a selection of international wine grapes, re-interpreted with the charachters and soils of the region.
Among those, a Traminer (Gewurtztraminer) that in 1998 received the mention from Luca Maroni (Civiltà del Bere Italian wine review) as “..one of the best white wines of Italy”.
Born on a calcareous, south exposed soil, from, then very young, vines in the “cru” indeed called “Plissè”.
With regards to 1998, a particularly fortunate vintage, go check the producer’s St Marsan, another of his interpretations of an international variety in Monferrato
A complex wine, the oak never overcoming the aromatic and slightly bitter note, enhanced by the aging. This wine waits only to be discovered.
Try it on its own, or with a buffet of aged cheeses.
Best served fresh (10-12°C)
Attention to the preservation of the natural properties of the wine
