L'Astemia Pentita
Barolo DOCG • Langhe • Piedmont
"Where avant-garde design meets ancestral terroir. L'Astemia Pentita breaks aesthetic molds while preserving the aristocratic purity of Nebbiolo on the slopes of Cannubi."
The Aristocracy of Terroir in Cannubi
Located in the heart of the Barolo DOCG appellation, specifically on the hill of Cannubi, the L'Astemia Pentita winery is a testament to Sandra Vezza's disruptive vision. This vineyard is historically recognized as the Grand Cru of Piedmont, where the soil composition (Sant'Agata marls) gives Nebbiolo extraordinary aromatic elegance and longevity, according to the standards of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco.
Unlike traditional producers in the region, L'Astemia Pentita combines bold visual aesthetics with minimal intervention winemaking. Its red wine labels reflect an organoleptic profile defined by notes of dried roses, tar, white truffle, and a firm yet velvety tannic structure, characteristics validated by critics from Wine Enthusiast.
Barolo DOCG: The King of Wines
Originating from the prestigious Crus of Cannubi and Terlo, these wines undergo a minimum regulated aging of 38 months. They are fundamental pieces for any collection for aging, developing a sublime tertiary complexity over the years.
Nebbiolo and Barbera d'Alba
For those seeking the essence of Piedmont in a more dynamic format, the winery produces Barbera and Nebbiolo of great freshness. These varieties are pillars of our selection of Italian wines, offering exceptional gastronomic versatility.
Sommelier's Protocol: Serving and Pairing
Oxygenation and Temperature
A Barolo from L'Astemia Pentita demands respect for time. We recommend decanting for at least 90 minutes at a temperature of 18°C. This allows the polyphenols to oxygenate, releasing the notes of undergrowth and dark berries typical of Northern Italy.
Gastronomic Harmony
The high acidity and tannins of Nebbiolo make it the ideal companion for fatty proteins. Think of a Brasato al Barolo, game meats, or long-aged cheeses. White truffle is its undeniable historical partner.
