'Munaloss' Cantine Garrone

The “Munaloss” by Cantine Garrone is a delicious portrait of Northern Piemonte, as well as a daily bottle with an almost unmatched quality-price ratio. It is often spontaneous to associate Nebbiolo with one of its chosen lands, namely the Langhe, but it is often forgotten that there are other expressions of the noble Piedmontese grape, equally interesting and less considered. Emblematic is the case of Northern Piemonte, an extraordinary land for reds (also for aging), enhanced by the work of some local realities like Cantine Garrone, a small family-run business that has been preserving about 14 hectares of land in Val D'Ossola since 1920. Respectful cultivation in the vineyard and meticulous work in the cellar allow the Garrone family to obtain wines of great taste purity, which have the power to tell us a snapshot of a territory of great value.

The red wine “Munaloss” is obtained from the classic blend of Val d'Ossola, interpreted in a juicy and graceful manner. In the vineyard, manual harvesting and limited yields are only the prelude to an equally meticulous work in the cellar, where the grapes are crushed and left to ferment on the skins for at least 10 days in stainless steel tanks at a maximum temperature of 28 degrees. After vinification in steel, it is left to mature and bottled.

The Cantine Garrone “Munaloss” presents itself in the glass with a brilliant and luminous ruby hue. A nose of great finesse and territorial adherence, unfolding notes of small red fruits, licorice, aromatic herbs, and dog rose. The common thread between nose and mouth is certainly freshness, so that an ethereal and weightless aromatic profile corresponds to a tasting that is equally graceful and smooth. A true invigorating nectar.
