La Morandina Description
Five centuries of history. Our memories go back to around 1600, a period in which the surname Morando was already present in the Castiglione Tinella area.
A connection with the Earth that gave the name "Morandini Hill" to this strip of Langa where our family has always resided.
And I, Giulio, along with my brother Paolo, have looked after the land of Morandini since 1988
with a new eye: the connection with the family gave life to "La Morandina", and our work has been increasingly concentrated on the vineyard, a blessed territory rich in marl and limestone which,
like in few other areas, can convey to the golden Moscato grapes aromas and flavors of great pure elegance. We wanted our Moscato to become the "reflection" of this land, a true expression
of a territory that can provide great quality. A fresh and refined wine, straightforward and without compromises. The same value has been applied to all the vineyards which have become part of the Tenuta La Morandina over the years.
Nature, history, quality: everything returns and is renewed in the Earth.
The result is double: 80% of the energy we use comes from a renewable source and we avoid distributing a good 10 tons of carbon dioxide every year. This renewable energy formula is
our way of thanking the environment, preserving it and continuing to keep alive a tradition that repeats itself each year in the vineyards.
In the cellar, the air expands the fragrances, the freshness and the structure of the different selections: those wines characteristics which are born in the grape bunch while still in the vineyard.
For the Moscato production, two are the souls that merge in our cellar. On one hand we have the traditional small wooden barrels, whose fragrance brings to mind old stories told by candlelight, which are reflected by the red of the bricks in the wall. On the other hand, we use technology to produce Moscato in modern stainless steel vats, which maintain its typical aromas and characteristics.
The past and the present: we, men, are the link.
THE WINE
COLOR: Light yellow with green hues. Fine bubbles.
BOUQUET: Fresh and fragrant, with hints of orange blossom, gardenia and aromatic herbs.
TASTE: Similar to the nose, slightly sparkling with low acidity, fresh and flavorsome, notes of mint and sage on the finish. This wine is typical of its grape variety
PAIRINGS: Considering that Moscato is from the same production zone of the “Langhe” Hazelnuts variety , it is a must to pair it this with hazelnut biscuits or the classic Torta di Langa; pleasant in the summer with a fruit salad of peaches and strawberries...
