Deltetto has been a family of winemakers since the end of the 19th century and since 2017 has been engaged in certified organic viticulture. The company's production takes place between the Roero and Langhe areas, different geological origins around Piedmont, the morphological compositions of which are reflected in the characteristics of the wines produced. The Roero has an alluvial soil characterised by sandstone, rocks made up of sand and limestone. This soft and mineral-rich soil is perfect for whites and reds, and provides perfumed, complex but at the same time very elegant wines. The Langhe, of more ancient origins, are instead characterized by a more compact soil composed of clays and marls. It is suitable for producing red wines with great structure, capable of ageing for a long time. The 777 selection was created from the Deltetto family's passion for the Pinot Noir grape variety, as a tribute to the French clone recognized throughout the world for its characteristics of concentration and longevity. The vineyard, planted on soil rich in marl not very far from the company, gives life to a wine whose structure and complexity fully reflect the typical characteristics of Piedmontese wines. Matured in oak barrels and barriques for 18 months, with subsequent bottle ageing, this pinot noir is a ruby red colour in the glass. Its scents range from small red berry fruits, undergrowth to a light toasted finish. The palate is broad, fresh, elegant and the tannin is refined. The finish is slightly balsamic. The perfect pairing ranges from pasta dishes filled with meat to meat based main courses, but its generous freshness could also lend itself to pairings with fish based main courses, with more structured flavours.
