TASTING NOTES

Production

The Deltetto family has been dedicated to viticulture since the late 19th century and has been committed to certified organic viticulture since 2017. The estate’s production straddles the Roero and Langhe regions, areas of Piedmont with different geological origins whose morphological compositions are reflected in the characteristics of the wines produced. The Roero has alluvial soil characterised by sandstone, rocks composed of sand and limestone. This soft, mineral-rich soil is perfect for both white and red wines, yielding fruity, light wines that are complex yet very elegant. The Langhe DOC, of older origin, is instead characterised by a more compact soil composed of clay and marl. It is particularly suited, especially in the Barolo area, to producing red wines of great structure. I Lioni is the name by which the Deltetto family was traditionally known and from which the small hamlet takes its name; it was here, in the old family farmhouse, that the first bottles of Nebbiolo were produced. This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo from the Langhe, harvested from the estate’s finest plots. It matures for around 12 months in oak barrels and is then further refined in the bottle. 100 ml: E=325 kJ/78 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

It presents a pale ruby red colour, but on the nose it is frank and sincere, with delicate notes of violet, currant and light spices. The flavour is fresh and elegant, with light, still-lively tannins and good length.

Occasion and Pairing

Perfect with pasta, mature cheeses and meat dishes; interesting when paired with a tartare, perhaps made from Fassona beef.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Deltetto

Founded by William Deutz and Pierre Geldermann, Maison Deutz was established in 1838 in Aÿ, in the Champagne region. Coming from Aquisgarana, the two settled in Aÿ and opened a small wine store. In 1838, they bought a small plot of land and started producing native varieties, with the desire to continue this production activity. William Deutz, who had previously worked for the Maison Bollinger, used his expertise in the cultivation and vinification of grapes. While Pierre Geldermann looked after the commercial and financial side of the house. In the following years, Maison Deutz was forced to cede a percentage of ownership of the wine cellar to Louis Roederer, but over time, Champagne Deutz established itself on the French wine scene, expanding more and more through the acquisition of new crus in the Cote de Blancs region as well. Over the years, the winery has been completely renovated and modernised: the musts ferment in stainless steel tanks and the parcel from which the grapes originate are transcribed in each one. The cuvée then rests in the house's underground cellars, located 60 metres below ground level. Producer/distributor name and address: Champagne Deutz - 16 Rue Jeanson, 51160 Aÿ-Champagne - France. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
