✨ Technical Specifications
Podere del Pesco draws its fruit from designated hillside plots characterized by traditional calcareous-clay marls in the Langhe. Fermentation proceeds under controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats with extended maceration on the skins to extract color and structural tannins. In adherence to Barolo DOCG regulations, maturation occurs over a minimum of 38 months, with significant aging conducted in large neutral Slavonian oak casks to allow micro-oxygenation without masking the primary floral and earth-driven nuances of Nebbiolo.
🍾 About the Producer
Terra dei Celti is a focused regional label produced by Sartirano Figli Cantine e Vigneti, an esteemed Piedmontese winemaking enterprise tracing its roots to 1871 in the Langhe hills. Headquartered at Tenuta Ghercina in Novello, the house is directed by fourth-generation cousins Paolo and Guido Sartirano, who supervise viticulture and cellar operations across benchmark Piedmontese terroirs. Sourced from high-altitude hillside vineyards planted in classic calcareous-clay marls, the grapes experience wide diurnal temperature shifts shaped by the Tanaro river valley and surrounding Alpine foothills. Viticulture emphasizes sustainable stewardship, low chemical intervention, and hand harvesting. In the cellar, vinification balances modern temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation with extended maturation in large Slavonian oak casks, fostering polished structure while honoring grape integrity. Benchmark expressions under the Terra dei Celti portfolio, notably Barolo Podere del Pesco, highlight Nebbiolo's hallmark tension, displaying dried rose petals, tar, red cherry, and firm, integrated tannins built for enduring elegance.
