Description
Former Italian motocross champion Stefano Perrone, from Castiglione Tinella in the heart of the 'Moscato area' in Piedmont, makes the most delicious wines. Stefano's specialty is the feather-light, sparkling dessert wines from the moscato grape and beautiful red wines, with his Elip Perrone NO now one of the cult wines of Italy.
The Elio Perrone Tasmorcan is a 100% Barbera coming from DOCG vineyards located in the municipality of Isola d'Asti - Frazione Mongovone. The Barbera grapes are hand-picked during the first week of October, ensuring that the integrity of each grape is preserved. After pressing the grapes, the must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged for 4 months in 25 hectoliter oak barrels, while 30% of it in 2.25 hectoliter French oak barrels, until it is ready for bottling, in March following the harvest.
The Tasmorcan is a fruity and exuberant red wine - typical of a Barbera d'Asti. Stefano Perrone's Tasmorcan DOCG Barbera d'Asti is deep red in color, with a purple reflection in the edge. Delicious red and black fruit on the nose, a hint of graphite and virtually no wood influence. Smooth in taste, with juice and a nice 'bite'. The Tasmorcan is a good accompaniment to antipasto for a meal with cheese and cold cuts. Perfect with filled pasta and meat sauces and excellent with spicy meat dishes.

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.
