Monferrato Rosso D.O.C.

Malidea is taken from the name of the hill between our cellar and Gad & Umberta's vineyard where our Nebbiolo is planted.

I'd always wanted to vinify Nebbiolo to see how this grape can perform in the Monferrato. Now I know - and the results are very satisfying. This wine as a blend because the tannins of the Nebbiolo combine perfectly with the freshness and density of the Barbera.
