Pietra Magica Langhe Rosso DOC 2019 - Mirafiore

Rooted in the fertile soils of Serralunga d'Alba, Piedmont, Mirafiore's Langhe DOC Rosso Pietra Magica is a true celebration of winemaking art. Cultivated following organic agriculture principles, the Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes blend masterfully, creating a wine that reflects the essence of its land. The color is a light garnet red, a symbol of purity and tradition, while the aroma releases intense floral and fruity notes, distinctive of these noble varieties. On the palate, the wine is distinguished by its full and harmonious structure, a delicate freshness culminating in a long and fruity finish. The wine's uniqueness also stems from its vinification method, involving a stage where the Nebbiolo fermented on its own skins is mixed with those of Barbera for a minimum of two hours. This process, followed by submerged cap maceration for up to 60 days, not only enhances tannin extraction and acid balance but enriches the wine with unparalleled complexity and elegance. Aging in large wooden barrels for a year further defines the distinctive character of Pietra Magica Langhe Rosso. Ideal for pairing with richly flavored dishes such as truffles, braised meats, roasts, and a selection of aged cheeses, this wine serves as the perfect companion for moments of conviviality and celebration. A tribute to the winemaking tradition of Langa, the Langhe DOC Rosso Pietra Magica by Mirafiore is an authentic expression of passion and dedication, an invitation to discover the magic and history of this land.

The story of Casa E. di Mirafiore is deeply intertwined with the very roots of Piedmontese wine and its nobility. Founded in 1878 by Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri, Count of Mirafiore and son of the first King of Italy, the winery is located in the fertile territories of Barolo and Fontanafredda. Emanuele Alberto's vision, an entrepreneur of noble origins, revolutionized the wine world of the time with a modern approach to winemaking and a strong commitment to the community. Recently, Casa E. di Mirafiore has intensified its commitment to sustainability, achieving organic certification in 2018 and celebrating its first certified organic harvest. This orientation was further reinforced in 2022 with the publication of the first Sustainability Report and the acquisition of certifications for sustainable practices in its own 25 hectares in Serralunga, vegan products, and recognition as a "Historical Brand" by the Italian government, a sign of its historic contribution to the oenology of the Langhe, combining tradition and sustainable innovation.
