Ortrugo DOC Almaco Vicobarone

Ortrugo's vine is planted in the Piacenza's area. This grape variety was imported a long time ago and in order to distinguish this variety from the other grapes already being used, the farmers named it “l'altr'uga” (which in the Piacenza dialect means “the other grape”). Almaco is produced in the beautiful Tidone Valley; it is an easy to drink wine and it is meant to be consumed when it is still young and fresh. Grapes are soft pressed and the must fermented in steel tanks. After this, the second fermentation takes place. Almaco's best characteristics are freshness and a perfect balance.
