Product information
Colline Novaresi DOC Uva Rara is a fine wine from the Piedmont lands of Borgomanero and Cureggio, located in the province of Novara. The grapes used for its production are exclusively Uva Rara, an indigenous variety that reflects the unique terroir of this area.
The 2017 vintage is distinguished by a ruby red color, varying in intensity but always rich and deep. On the nose, the wine offers a vinous and fresh bouquet, enriched by notes of berries such as wild blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry, which lend a distinctive fruit character.
On the palate, Colline Novaresi DOC Uva Rara is harmonious and well-balanced, with a soft body that envelops the palate and a final fruity flavor that lingers nicely. This flavor profile is the result of aging in wooden barrels Allier oak for 12 months, followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging, which help develop the wine's complexity and structure.
The production area is characterized by morainic, sandy and clay soil, located at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. The grapes are harvested in the first week of October, with a yield of 85 quintals per hectare, testifying to the attention to quality and vineyard management.
Colline Novaresi DOC Uva Rara is perfect to accompany traditional Piedmontese dishes such as braised meats, aged cheeses and typical cured meats, thanks to its versatility and its ability to integrate harmoniously with intense flavors. This wine represents an authentic expression of the territory and its indigenous grapes, ideal for those who wish to explore the region's wine-making excellence.
Host information
Someone said that in a glass of wine there's a man's life... for us it's much more than that. We are a small winery with a long history, located in the area of Upper Piedmont.
Four generations of Zanetta spent in the vineyards and cellars. Since the last years of 1800 the families of Elena's great-grandparents' great-grandparents used to go with carts to work in the vineyards of Cureggio and then transform in their cellars and then resell an excellent product. Later Elena's grandparents, Angelo and Angela, with more modern means and partly renewing the cellars, continued these activities assisted, since he was a boy, by his son Giuseppe; a life of work, his, made with great enthusiasm and always supported by an inexhaustible passion. In the last years of 1900 Giuseppe realized one of his dreams: to replant and expand the ancient vineyard of Cureggio.
Hard work, constant commitment and great passion without ever giving in to adversity, not only atmospheric, have led to the realization of the current reality: "Madonna dell'Uva". We have been producing, for four generations, excellent red wines, rare, well balanced, native and pure.
Our company is located in the municipalities of Cureggio and Borgomanero, in the province of Novara. We want to introduce you our wines not only because they are really good, but also because they represent a typical regional rarity.
