Description
The Sansilvestro winery is located in Novello, in the heart of the Langa del Barolo. A beautiful story, that of Giovanni Sartirano, who in 1871 began his activity in the world of wine.More than a century later, Paolo and Guido carry on the family traditions with wisdom and respect. They are now the fourth generation at the helm.
The story of Sansilvestro is one of investment in the future, with a careful eye to not losing sight of the teachings of the ancestors. After all, the company is deeply identified with the Piedmontese territory.
It works with traditional vines, such as Barbera, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Grignolino, Arneis, Cortese and Moscato.(Most of these can be found on our website) But we have also chosen to invest in the promotion of recently rediscovered native grape varieties,
such as Favorita and Nascetta di Novello. Today, thanks to close collaboration with vine growers, Sansilvestro is able to offer a range of wines that touches on all areas of Piedmont's viticultural excellence, from Gavi to Barbaresco, passing through the Asti area and Barolo.
An elegant expression of Nebbiolo grapes, able to reach its peak after 5 or 10 years from the harvest.
The wine shows a rich red colour and is voluminous, well-structured, fruity, tannic, with sophisticated aromas of spring flowers, cherry.
It has a long finish with woody hues. It can be refined even longer to let it develop ethereal and balsamic notes together with silky and round tannins.
Whether uncorked today or in a few years' time, to do justice to this wine it should undoubtedly be paired with important dishes such as pheasant, pigeon or ossobuco. It is also perfect as a meditation wine, paired with a simple board of well-aged cheeses.
