Cascina Orizzonte

Cascina Orizzonte began from the idea of two friends, Enrico Dogliotti and Riccardo Rosso. In 2014 they tried to produce a small quantity of wine pushed by their passion towards wine and their territory. The vinified grapes are from Enrico's parents farm. They work as farmers from 25 years and they cultivate different “cepages” as Barbera d'Asti, Nebbiolo, Moscato d'Asti and Chardonnay. Joint the second year of activity, we are very proud and happy of the obtained results. The procedure of vinification has been made in a traditional way. After the pressing and the remotion of the grapes from the stalks , alcoholic fermentation has come spontaneously and the maceration over the peels has been taking 15 days. After the raking took place the wine has been put in second passage barriques. The malolactic fermentation was in wood in June 2016 and the affinage has continued in barriques until April 2017. In April 2017 in waning moon, we bottled our wines of 2015 harvest that will be placed on the market in September 2017, after some months of affinage in bottle.. The label: it was born by itself from a casual spot of Barbera that created an indelible sign. In this moment the idea of The Shape took place. Each spot has the color of the wine it represents. The name NeRa represents the two different cepages in the wine: “the beginning of the NEbbiolo and the end of the BarbeRA” Our vision: Our aim is producing wine in a simple way without changing too much the original characteristics of each grape, obtaining the best result from the blend of different cepages. We wish to get a great longevity to our products. Our wine should enter the market slowly, finding the most appropriate moment. The mission: we hope to extend our skills and knowledges vintage after vintage, harvest after harvest, testing new ways of fermentation and techniques of wood affinage.
