Sizzano 2018 Monsecco
Sizzano 2018 by Monsecco is a red wine of character and tradition, produced in one of Piedmont’s oldest and least-known appellations, alongside Ghemme and Gattinara. The blend consists mainly of Nebbiolo (locally called Spanna), complemented by Vespolina and a touch of Uva Rara, as required by the local regulations.
The grapes come from vineyards planted on alluvial sandy-clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s finesse, minerality, and aging potential. After spontaneous fermentation in steel tanks, the wine is aged for about 30 months in large oak barrels, followed by further refinement in bottle.
In the glass, it shows a light garnet color, with aromas of red berries, dried flowers, sweet spices, herbs, and earthy nuances. The palate is balanced, fresh, and savory, with silky tannins and a long, mineral finish.
A traditional yet elegant wine, perfect with classic Piedmontese dishes such as meat-filled agnolotti, braised meats, light game, or aged cheeses.
