Description

The Corne 2016 'Le Sue Nature All'Opera' is a masterful expression of the Bergamasca terroir, crafted by the organic winery Le Corne in Grumello del Monte. This premium red wine is a celebration of the synergy between man and nature, with a name that poetically translates to 'Its Natures at Work'. The label itself is a striking piece of design, representing the tiered seating of an amphitheater, paying homage to the natural rocky amphitheater of calcareous rock (the 'Corna' from which the winery takes its name) found at the foot of their vineyards.

Produced from a meticulous blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes undergo separate fermentations at controlled temperatures followed by a cold blend. The wine is then aged for 18 months in oak tonneaux and barriques, followed by a long period of refinement in the bottle. The result is a wine that is deep and dark in color, revealing on the nose a sophisticated bouquet of ripe red fruits, aromatic herbs, delicate spices, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, it provides an inviting, fresh entry followed by structured tannins, developing into a warm, soft, and enveloping finish that mirrors the elegance of a theater performance.

This wine is an exceptional companion for a refined dinner. It pairs beautifully with hearty red meat dishes, whether grilled, roasted, or prepared as a rich, slow-cooked stew. It also serves as an excellent partner for medium-to-long aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for those who appreciate a structured and savory Italian red. With a strong community rating of 4.3 stars and consistent recognition, it is a testament to the dedication of the Le Corne team in crafting wines that truly capture the essence of the Bergamo landscape. Whether celebrating a special milestone or looking to elevate a casual evening, the Corne 2016 offers a complex and rewarding experience for any wine enthusiast.
