Notes from the importer: Castello di Castellengo’s 2022 Coste Della Sesia ‘Rosso della Motta’ is the first of their range of shockingly low-cost wines. Like all their reds, it’s not only a fabulous price, but it’s also a serious wine. What it’s best at is how much joy it unfurls compared to so many other Alto Piemontese reds that have forgotten wine is also to be enjoyed; to be fruity, to be merry, to show that hidden joy behind the stolid gaze of many well-worked and tired Alto Piemontese grape farmers. It’s made entirely from Nebbiolo grapes harvested from 70 to 80-year-old vines planted between 300-350 meters on the rolling hills of marine sand and clay. To keep the fruit profile at the forefront during its two-week natural fermentation in steel, Magda maintains a maximum temperature of 22° C. It’s then aged on lees for 24 to 30 months in concrete without racking before a light filtration at bottling. With only 40 mg/L of total sulfur, added only at bottling, its years of refinement under the natural bacteria, yeast and microorganisms that survived and even fermented further make this a truly authentic wine, at a great price.
