Vinificazione Materica
In the cellar
Tenuta Fiammenga, located in a clay-rich territory in Monferrato, combines winemaking with local history and art, positioning itself as a reference point for both cultural and oenological pursuits.
The material vinification technique, introduced by Paolo Sartirano, represents a key element in the production of the Estate’s wines.
This process, which involves the use of 500-liter tonneaux for prolonged fermentation and maturation with the must in contact with the skins, aims to amplify the extraction of color, scents, aromas, and tannins. This gives the wines distinctive structure and tactile sensations.
Sartirano draws inspiration from the submerged cap vinification, a historical practice in Monferrato that involves prolonged skin maceration to extract intense organoleptic characteristics.

In conclusion, material vinification at Tenuta Fiammenga is not only a winemaking technique, but a tribute to the artistic and cultural tradition of Monferrato, where every sip of wine is a journey through the history, art, and landscape of the region.
