Description

Former Italian motocross champion Stefano Perrone, from Castiglione Tinella in the heart of Piedmont's Moscato region, makes exquisite wines. Stefano's specialty is the light, sparkling dessert wines made from the Moscato grape and exquisite reds, with his Elip Perrone NO now considered one of Italy's cult wines.

The Elio Perrone Mongovone is made from 100% Barbera grapes aged for 12 months in small, new French oak barrels. The Barbera d'Asti Superiore Mongovone 2020 is a full-bodied, opulent beauty. It offers a heady blend of blackberry jam, cloves, incense, chocolate espresso, and sweet French oak. The style is flamboyant, yet all the elements come together so effortlessly. Very elegant in structure, with a perfect balance of fruit, tannin, and finesse. Give it a year or two to lose some of its baby fat. The Mongovone comes in a unique bottle with equally unique sizes, as this wine is available in 1-liter and 0.5-liter bottles. This is the 1-liter bottle.

FACT: In the "Tab: Attachment" you'll find the fact sheet for this wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order this wine. The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll often receive a nice discount. We're located almost next to the Rijksweg with ample parking.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2021 Elio Perrone Mongovone Barbera D'Asti Superiore betovert met een rijke smaak van rijpe bramen, kruidnagel en een vleugje chocolade-espresso, aangevuld door de subtiele tonen van Franse eik. Deze wijn is perfect in balans, met een elegante structuur die mooi samengaat met de volle smaken van rundvlees, charcuterie of een smeuïge pasta of pizza. Hij komt het beste tot zijn recht bij gerechten die even krachtig en smaakvol zijn, zoals een langzaam gegaard stoofvlees of een romige pasta met rijke vleessaus, waardoor de fruitigheid en kruidigheid van de wijn prachtig worden benadrukt.

In Italy you don't just leave the family business. So Stefano Perrone, former Italian motocross champion, also went overboard. In the Piedmont, this family has been making delicious Moscato wines for generations. The 13 hectares of vineyards on the hills of Castiglione Tinella are mainly planted with barbera, moscato and brachetto (an almost forgotten native grape, also called the red moscato). Winemaker Stefano Perrone, since he took over in 1989, has ensured that the quality of the grapes has risen considerably and modernized the techniques in the wine cellar.
