Region and Vineyards
Sito Moresco is produced in the Langhe D.O.P., with grapes sourced mainly from the Pajore vineyard in Treiso, complemented by fruit from Serralunga. These sites benefit from diverse terroirs characterized by calcareous marl soils and varied altitudes, which contribute to the wine’s structure and vibrancy.
The 2021 growing season began with a severe and rainy winter, followed by a dry spring that accelerated the vines’ life cycle. However, cold temperatures in early April affected some lower-lying vineyards. The summer brought heat and occasional thunderstorms, requiring diligent vineyard management to counter powdery mildew. A refreshing rainfall in late August provided much-needed balance, resulting in ripe, healthy grapes for harvest.
Winemaking
Sito Moresco 2021 is a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera, vinified separately to retain their distinct characteristics. Fermentation and maceration lasted approximately three weeks, followed by blending after malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged
for 12 months in oak barrels, ensuring a seamless integration of flavors and structure. This meticulous process highlights the vibrant fruit and complexity of the vintage while maintaining a fresh and approachable style.
Tasting Notes
Color: Vibrant violet, an atypical hue for Nebbiolo, reflecting the fullness and richness of the vintage.
Aroma: Bold notes of blackberry, cherry, blood orange, and bergamot, with a subtle flinty undertone.
Palate: Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and a harmonious tannin structure. The wine is balanced and elegant, with a long, satisfying finish.
