Tenuta La Fiammenga, Monferrato Montecenere 2022

Tenuta La Fiammenga’s Monferrato Montecenere 2022 is a richly styled red from the clay-rich heart of Piedmont’s historic Monferrato region. Deeply coloured and generously flavoured, it combines ripe cherry fruit with gentle spice and the smooth influence of six months in French oak. The estate’s story reaches back to 1596, where Flemish and Italian heritage meet generations of winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour with vivid violet reflections. On the nose, ripe cherries take centre stage, joined by subtle spicy nuances and a hint of oak-derived warmth. On the palate, it is expressive and full-bodied, with a pleasing concentration of ripe fruit. Soft, well-integrated tannins provide structure, while notes of vanilla and chocolate add depth and richness. Enjoyable now for its supple character, it should develop further over the next few years as the fruit, oak and tannins continue to harmonise.

Production
The vineyards are situated in the clay-rich terroir of Monferrato, an environment that contributes to the wine’s depth and generous texture. The grapes are gently crushed without damaging the berries, then undergo alcoholic fermentation with regular remontage, or pump-overs, to extract colour and flavour. This is followed by an extended period of skin contact before the wine matures for six months in French oak barrels.

Food & Serving
A natural match for roasted and grilled meats, braised beef, hearty pasta dishes, mushrooms and mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. The wine can be enjoyed without decanting, but allowing it to breathe in a decanter for around 30 minutes will help open its cherry, spice and chocolate notes.
