Intro Derthona Cas' Al'Mat 2022
Intro is the fruit of timorasso grapes from a calcareous-clayey soil rich in Tortonian marls. The fermentation is spontaneous "assisted" in a stainless steel tank, following a maceration in contact with the skins for about 36 hours; malolactic fermentation not carried out; aging on the fine lees and batonnage in the first phase (stainless steel tank).
Cas' Al'Mat - Roddino
Cas' Al'Mat is a very young winery founded by Alessio (Al) and Matteo (Mat) who cultivate their own vineyards in Casasco (Cas). We will tell you in two lines how this adventure took place:
in May 2018 Matteo (oenologist in Oltrepò) and Alessio (engaged in work in the Langa) find an ad on the internet; a man residing in the Cuneo area had decided to put his properties in the Tortona hills up for sale. Struck by the beauty of the landscape, a high, windy and wild ridge, they decided to fix an appointment which they were unable to materialize at the first meeting, but after two years, with great conviction and with all their savings, they managed to acquire it.
In this place between Casasco and Brignano Frascata, still in the province of Alessandria, the sensations linked to the soil, the altitude, the purity of the air and the different exposures are absolutely positive; because all around there are fields, woods, small villages in a state of semi-abandonment; because the few vineyard plots in the immediate vicinity bear convincing fruit. Timorasso is certainly the driving vine of these areas, resulting in wines with a strong personality, wines that sometimes divide and therefore do not leave one indifferent, whites that often puff up their chest and pose as reds. Matteo and Alessio will carry out the first planting shortly in their land but at the moment they make wine from the grapes granted by some local producers close to their philosophy. But also a vineyard in Monleale in the heart of the Timorasso area, leased thanks to Walter Massa.
Get ready to meet a couple in love with wine and the land, who with an entirely artisanal thought bottle a great vine with the central idea of having a pleasant and rich wine to drink.
