Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato Marenè 2022 BioVio 75 cl

Description

History

In the most suitable areas of the Albenga hinterland, great grapes have always been produced. And it is precisely here that Giobatta Vio known as “Aimone” decided to build his winemaking “fiefdom”, enhancing and maintaining intact the elements dearest to him: family, territory, naturalness. Growing organically, claims Giobatta Vio, “is not a choice, neither technical nor economic: it is simply cultural.” Always using exclusively native vines, from Pigato to Vermentino for the whites, to Rossese and Granaccia for the reds, names such as MaRenè, Bon-in-da-Bon, Aimone, U Bastiò, Gigò quickly made inroads into the imagination of enthusiasts as synonyms of quality and productive unity. “Wines, as we know, are not created by the will of the individual but of the whole family” And in fact Giobatta Vio is also supported in the management by his wife and three daughters, who take care of the oenological, agronomic and commercial aspects. Company with organic certification. Giobatta Vio was awarded Winemaker of the Year 2017 by Gambero Rosso.

Grapes used

Pigato 100%

Production method

All company land is certified and cultivated organically. The harvest usually takes place manually in the period between September and early October. The vinification is traditional in white in stainless steel vessels at a controlled temperature. The wine obtained then ages for 4 months in steel and for another 2 months in the bottle before being released on the market.

Alcohol content

13%

Tasting notes

Straw yellow colour. On the nose, marine notes of flavor, musk and bay leaves, with balsamic hints. Notes of citrus, white flowers and almond. On the palate the wine has a good initial softness, but then reveals pleasant notes of fruit and spice and a very fresh final acidity.

Possible combinations

Pigato Marenè is ideal as an aperitif, especially on a warm spring or summer evening. In combination it is ideal with fish-based dishes, whether raw or cooked, delicate or with a stronger flavour. Also worth trying with asparagus-based dishes.
