Bianco Terre dei Galleani Monferrato DOC 2023 - Barbera Sei Castelli

Bianco Monferrato DOC

Terre dei Galleani is a Monferrato DOC Bianco that beautifully captures the finesse and harmony of Monferrato’s terroir. Produced by Cantina Sociale Barbera dei Sei Castelli, based in Agliano Terme, this wine is crafted from a careful selection of Chardonnay and indigenous white grape varieties, chosen to highlight the freshness and character of the region. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, preserving the grapes’ aromatic integrity and giving the wine a vibrant and refined profile. In the glass, it shines with a brilliant straw-yellow hue, foreshadowing its intense and complex bouquet. The nose reveals fruity notes of white peach and green apple, elegantly intertwined with delicate hints of wildflowers and subtle citrus nuances. On the palate, it is fresh and well-balanced, with lively acidity enhancing its drinkability and a harmonious structure that provides a lingering finish. Versatile and sophisticated, Terre dei Galleani pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, such as baked sea bream fillets or seafood risotto, and also complements delicate white meats beautifully. Thanks to its refreshing nature, it is also ideal as an aperitif, served with light appetizers and fresh cheeses. A perfect choice for summer dinners al fresco and convivial gatherings, where its brightness and vibrancy can be fully appreciated.

Founded with the aim of enhancing the grapes from six original municipalities—Agliano, Castelnuovo Calcea, Moasca, San Marzano Oliveto, Costigliole d’Asti, and Calosso—the winery has grown to include over 260 members and approximately 800 hectares of vineyards, with a strong focus on the Barbera grape. The name Sei Castelli (Six Castles) is inspired by the six historic castles that dominate these picturesque villages, offering breathtaking landscapes that frame the rolling hills of Monferrato—a land historically dedicated to viticulture. Thanks to a unique combination of calcareous-clay soils, favorable altitudes, and a temperate climate, the winery fully expresses Barbera’s potential, crafting wines with remarkable character and authenticity.
