{"title":"Monte Maletto","description":"\u003cp\u003eMonte Maletto is an exciting new venture brought to life by Gian Marco Viano, a true aficionado of the wine world. His journey began like that of many wine lovers: with a sommelier course that ignited a passion leading him through the kitchens of prestigious, Michelin-starred restaurants. However, a deeper desire soon took root: the aspiration to become a winemaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, Gian Marco seized the opportunity to take over vineyards in Carema, embarking on a quest to create small-batch artisanal wines that reflect his values of purity, simplicity, and a profound respect for the land. The Carema region is a hidden gem in Piedmont, situated at the gateway to the Aosta Valley. This enchanting area boasts a cool climate with dramatic temperature swings, allowing the Nebbiolo grape to thrive and express its elegance and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the vineyards are not just rows of vines but a stunning architectural marvel, featuring terraced dry-stone walls that stand as a testament to human ingenuity. The grapes are trained on lofty pergolas upheld by sturdy stone columns, where the stones serve a dual purpose: providing structural support while capturing the sun's warmth during the day to gently release it at night, ensuring the vines thrive even in cooler temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGian Marco is captivated by this breathtaking landscape, fully aware of its potential yet undeterred by the challenges of heroic viticulture. He embraces the demanding manual labour and unwavering commitment required in the vineyards, driven by a vision to produce exceptional wines that embody the spirit of this unique terroir. Monte Maletto is not just about wine; it's a celebration of the land, a passion for craftsmanship, and a promise to honour the rich heritage of Carema.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"monte-maletto-carema-sole-e-roccia-2018","title":"Carema Sole e Roccia 2018","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e \n\n\u003cdiv\u003e Galloni's pick of Carema from Monte Maletto \u003c\/div\u003e \n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab1\" class=\"active\"\u003eWine Info\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\n\u003c!--Start tab content--\u003e \n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e \n\n\u003cli id=\"tab1\" class=\"active\"\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo 95% Ner d’Ala 5% \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  Artisanal, indigenous yeasts, around 7 small plot vineyard, south-west exposure \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  30% whole cluster, spontaneous fermentation, 40 days maceration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing: \u003c\/strong\u003e 18 months in used barriques plus 6 months in bottle \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottles produced: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1,990\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5% abv\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruby  Red \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Balsamic hints with notes of red berries and vermouth herbs  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild berries and fragrances of alpine herbs with sweet tannins \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Undoubtedly one of the future superstars of Carema.
