SIMONE SCALETTA
“The youthful Simone Scaletta is making his first marks in the wine world with some admirably distinctive offerings.” – Gambero Rosso
Located in the lower section of Monforte, which has beautiful views, the vines are young and he does all the work in the vineyard and cellar himself. He uses only 600 litre and older barrique for aging and no filtering.
The beauty of the hills of Monforte, his passion for wine, the warmth of the Langhe region and the feeling that he could live in harmony with the rhythm of winemaking contributed to Simon Scaletta’s decision to restore an abandoned vineyard where it had already existed, respecting the surrounding woods and the balance of nature.
Research, respect and acceptance of the values of a territory which is strongly connected to the delicate rhythms of both nature and people not only were the leading principles of his personal choice, but also define the style of Simone Scaletta’s wines. The position of the land, the climate and hard work give each single wine its unique character. There are five hectares in total. This small dimension gives Scaletta the opportunity to dedicate great attention and care to each stage of the vine’s life. Pruning, staking and wiring, the process of thinning, the special selection of grapes are all done in total respect of natural cycles and are based on a technical knowledge aimed at the production of the highest quality wines.
