L'ARSIN 2021 Carema DOC Cantina Togliana

L'ARSIN CAREMA DOC

Achille Milanesio, a young and independent winemaker from Piedmont, as the evolution of a family tradition that is generations old and deeply rooted in the territory of Carema, created 'Cantina Togliana' with the intention of recovering and qualitatively enhancing the mountain Nebbiolo, locally known as Picotendro.

A small vineyard with a unique terroir, cultivated with passion and a lot of hard work on the steep hills of Carema, a small village in Piedmont on the border with Valle d'Aosta, located 350 metres above sea level, where viticulture is practised exclusively by hand, taking advantage of the little space granted by nature, among dry stone walls and small vineyards trained on the pergola system, surrounded by woods and mountains.

.

Cantina Togliana's Arsin Carema is a wine made only from Nebbiolo grapes, harvested by hand. The bunches of grapes are placed in small crates and taken to the cellar and mellowed in steel tanks, where they undergo alcoholic fermentation and then malolactic fermentation, always at a controlled temperature. Once the fermentation processes are complete, the wine is decanted into French oak barrels for ageing for at least 12 months, followed by refinement for at least another year in the bottle.
