MAGIC STONE  - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2018 Casa Mirafiore

The Pietra Magica of Casa Mirafiore is a sublime expression of Nebbiolo, a grape variety that embodies the soul of the Piedmontese terroir. Produced entirely from Nebbiolo grapes, this wine is a tribute to the ancient winemaking tradition of Serralunga d'Alba, famous for its Miocene soils rich in mineral elements, which give the wine an unparalleled complexity and finesse.

The Mastery of Terroir

The vineyards, located between 300 and 450 meters above sea level. and oriented to the east and south-east, they enjoy a privileged climatic condition. This exposure, less intense in terms of solar radiation compared to the southern and western slopes, is crucial for developing distinctive floral and spicy aromas, and for maintaining lively acidity in the wine. The soil, a mosaic of clay and calcareous marl, contributes to a subtle minerality, essential for the structure and elegance of Nebbiolo.

Innovative Winemaking Process

The vinification of the Langhe Nebbiolo Mirafiore is conducted with precision and respect for the raw material. After fermentation in stainless steel vats for a period of 12-15 days at a controlled temperature, the wine undergoes a further maceration of 15-20 days. This step is essential for an optimal extraction of the polyphenolic compounds, which give the wine an elegant tannic profile and a robust but balanced structure.

Refinement and Maturation

The Refinement, carried out in large-capacity oak barrels (from 2,000 to 14,000 litres) for a year, followed by a six-month rest period in the bottle, is a delicate phase which enriches the wine with complex aromatic nuances. During this period, Nebbiolo develops a range of tertiary aromas that blend harmoniously with the primary fruity tones.

Refined Sensory Profile

On the palate, the Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2018 reveals itself with a sweet and enveloping tannin, resulting in a long and balsamic finish. The olfactory profile is an enchantment of aromas: nutmeg, dried tobacco leaves, black plum and tamarind intertwine creating a complex and inviting bouquet. Visually, the wine has a deep garnet red color, embellished with ruby ​​nuances, a true joy for the eyes.
