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 Tasmorcan is a 100% Barbera grape from DOCG vineyards located in the municipality of Isola d'Asti - Frazione Mongovone. The Barbera grapes are hand-harvested during the first week of October, ensuring the integrity of each grape. After pressing, the must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged for four months in 25-hectoliter oak barrels, while 30% of it is aged 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 purple reflections on the rim. Delicious red and black fruit on the nose, a hint of graphite, and virtually no oak influence. Smooth on the palate, with juice and a pleasant bite. The Tasmorcan is a good accompaniment to antipasto before a meal with cheese and cured meats. It's perfect with stuffed 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.
