Az.Agricola Torre Fornello - Località Fornello Ziano Piacentino (PC)
A wine of the territory, this organic and sparkling Malvasia Secca is one of the good labels offered by Torre Fornello. It is born among the rolling hills of Emilia Romagna, in the heart of Piacenza, in Ziano Piacentino to be precise. This area, known for its wine-growing tradition, is characterised by an ideal microclimate for the production of aromatic and intense wines. Organic farming in the countryside, the Charmat/Martinotti method is used for the production of this sparkling Malvasia, perfect for the production of lively and fresh wines. The aromatic Malvasia di Candia, the star of this wine, is a variety particularly appreciated for its olfactory intensity and unique aromatic character. Originally from the Mediterranean area, it has found its ideal habitat in Emilia-Romagna. After the harvest, the grapes are subjected to a soft pressing, followed by a quick separation of the skins from the must to obtain a clear and clean liquid. This is followed by fermentation at a low temperature, followed by the second fermentation in an autoclave. Finally, the wine is cold stabilised, guaranteeing optimal preservation. In the glass, this Malvasia Secca is a luminous straw yellow. The nose is aromatic and fruity, with hints of fresh fruit and herbs. In the mouth, it is dry, delicate, lively and fresh, with a pleasant acidity that enhances its drinkability and lightness. A surprisingly versatile wine, it goes well with the flavours of the Piacenza area, such as traditional cured meats, including coppa, salami and pancetta, or with vegetable and egg dishes, such as omelettes or pies. Also try it with fish soups.
Torre Fornello is a beautiful winery located in the heart of the Piacenza hills. Its history dates back to 1028, when Deacon Gerardo bequeathed some land to a Piacenza noblewoman. In the following centuries, a lime and brick kiln was built in the area, hence the name ‘Fornello’, as was the tower erected in the 15th century to defend the feud. Recent history, on the other hand, began in 1998 with Enrico Sgorbati who started the production of high quality wines at Torre Fornello. The vineyards, which are exclusively owned, are cultivated with varieties that reflect the richness of the local viticulture. In particular with Barbera, Bonarda and Croatina, typical of the Piacenza area, which produce robust and intense red wines. However, there is also no lack of white grape varieties such as Ortrugo, an indigenous grape appreciated for its freshness and versatility. The winery is characterised by modern, technologically advanced spaces, although the wines are then aged in the historic cellars dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, where temperature and humidity remain constant throughout the year.
