ABOUT THIS WINE
The Di Fatto Monferrato Rosso 2020 from Azienda Agricola Tacchino is a red wine from the Monferrato DOC in Piedmont, Italy. It is a blend of Albarossa, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are located in Alto Monferrato at an altitude of 250-300 meters, benefiting from a southeast-facing exposure in a large amphitheater, which protects them from northern winds and allows for a long growing season. The soil is predominantly calcareous clay. Azienda Agricola Tacchino is a family winery with a three-generation history in Castelletto d'Orba, committed to preserving traditional winemaking practices of the region. The 2020 vintage was of high quality, yielding perfectly ripe grapes due to favorable weather conditions.
