James Suckling 91pt

This shows good concentration and richness, with red and dark berries and subtle notes of walnuts and mushrooms. Medium- to full-bodied with compact, rather supple tannins that are quite ripe. Structured and nicely framed with a lingering finish.

by James Suckling, 2024

Tasting notes

Red, with yellowish orange hints due to the ageing process. Dry, velvety and austere, with a bouquet of faded rose and violet.

Ageing

3 years in large oak casks. In bottles for the final six months.

Food pairing

Red meat, game, and pungent cheeses. Serve at 20 degrees taking care to uncork the bottle several hours before pouring.

Estate

The Neirano cellars belong to the Sperone family, which is being engaged in the wine production for 4 generations. Paolo and Antonio lead the company at the moment, with the help of Antonio's daughter and son: Francesca and Andrea. Tenute Neirano is located in Monferrato, Piedmont. With 30 hectares of owned vineyards, Neirano has always developed the production and sale of a very high quality line of Piedmont wines, with extreme care in grapes selection, vinification methods and bottling technology.
