The Alfieri estate has an extraordinary history begining in 1616 when Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy granted Urbano Alfieri the fiefdom of San Martino, progressing through the ages tunil 1988 when three sisters Emanuela, Antonella and Giovanna take over the winery following their father's passing. Since 1990 when the first 10,000 bottles of Marchesi Alfieri were produced, the sisters have persistently invested in improving the winemaking and viticultural excellence of the estate.
Made from 100% pinot noir fruit, first introduced into the Alfieri estate in the mid-19th century. Fermentation is done in bottle and the wines sits on lees for over two years. Dosage is only 4 grams, making the wine extremely dry and very fine. In a blind lineup, it would be difficult to pick this out from a set of Champagnes. PWS
Straw yellow color with light green highlights, fine and persistent perlage. Delicate aroma of citrus fruits melding with mineral hints of graphite and flint; eventually flowing into more persistent aromas of bread crust and yellow flowers. Soft and creamy on the palate with a long excellent finish. MARCHESI ALFIERI
