✨ Technical Specifications
Dezzani Monferrato Rosso originates from the rolling hills of Monferrato in Piedmont, Italy, where winemaking traditions trace back to the establishment of the estate in 1934 by Luigi Dezzani. Monferrato Rosso DOC allows winemakers to create harmonious red blends combining indigenous Piedmontese varieties like Barbera and Nebbiolo, often alongside international grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. The wine is typically vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks followed by a period of aging in oak barrels, resulting in a rich, structured red wine featuring ripe red berries, subtle spice, and balanced acidity that reflects Monferrato's cool microclimate and limestone-rich soils.
