La Stoppa ‘Trebbiolo’ Rosso
La Stoppa ‘Trebbiolo’ Rosso – a delightfully meditative love-letter to low-intervention wine-making. With a boisterous nose comprising fresh red berries, wild thyme and sprigs of pine, one may expect a slightly volatile palette. However, feverish bursts of morello cherries mingle amicably with cracked black pepper and juicy red plums. This is a balanced display of Barbera and Bonarda that never fails to surprise and delight, much like the winemaker herself. Elena Pantaleoni is an unmissable name with regard to patient wine-making and time is a privilege that she infuses her wines with. “Some people say they don’t have time,” Elena has said, “but it takes time to make wine well.” This is 75CL worth of medium-bodied vivacity, made for sipping and savouring amongst your nearest and dearest.
Elena Pantaleoni owns this wonderful 58-ha organically-tended estate where wild herbs grow freely between the rows and no chemical fertilisers, weed killers or pesticides are applied. She and her partner, Giulio Armani replanted their vineyards with indigenous varietals and started using organic agriculture in 1996. Achieving certification in 2008, they began implementing that same sustainability in their cellar, switching first to native yeasts. Gradually progressing to extended skin-macerations, no filtration and infinitesimal amounts of sulphur upon bottling, they thereby allow their wines to perform with distinction and pride. As mentioned, time is both an aide and confidant on the La Stoppa estate, a priceless ingredient. Elena believes in the notion of “slow wine”, the idea of “making time for the wine”. Henceforth, La Stoppa ‘Trebbiolo’ Rosso is something to meditate over, a contemplative elixir.
