To the eye, it reveals a ruby red colour with brilliant purple highlights, which anticipate an intense and distinctly vinous aromatic profile. On the nose, pleasant aromas of fresh fruit emerge, dominated by notes of \u003cstrong\u003emorello cherry and cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e. The palate is harmonious, supported by a fresh and balanced structure. Thanks to its fruity nature, it pairs perfectly with cured meats, pasta dishes with meat sauces, stewed meats, cheeses of various ages, and flavourful pizzas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this wine lie in the Val Trebbiola, in the Piacenza area. The winery cultivates its vineyards on \u003cstrong\u003eclay and silt soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, elements that favour a clear and recognisable fruit expression. The vines are trained using the simple Guyot system and are part of an ecosystem managed according to the principles of \u003cstrong\u003enatural agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e. This approach involves spontaneous grassing and excludes the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides, limiting interventions in the vineyard to the use of copper and sulphur. The agronomic management allows for grapes that fully express the authenticity of the \u003cstrong\u003eEmilian territory\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process follows a minimalist approach, starting with fermentation triggered exclusively by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The extraction phase is based on a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of thirty days, a decisive step to extract colour and define the complex aromatic profile. Subsequently, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, evolving slowly without overshadowing the varietal identity. The oenological journey concludes with a rest of at least two years before release, a period necessary to best harmonise all the structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis red wine takes its name from an old farmhouse nestled among the vineyards of the historic La Stoppa estate, in the picturesque Val Trebbiola. Managed by the Pantaleoni family since 1973, the winery follows a strict natural farming approach. The must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003ethirty-day skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, activated exclusively by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The authentic Emilian character of this wine is further enhanced by slow maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and a long, patient rest in the bottle before being released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"La Stoppa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45806566867115,"sku":"58975","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/la-stoppa-macchiona-2018_58975_1_741cc3b5-f974-42d2-a05d-f0427cc3cc9c.webp?v=1773788482","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/la-stoppa-macchiona-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
