STERBU

THE WINE

The idea to make Sterbu (“turbid” in the local dialect) was born at Ristorante Felicin in Monforte d’Alba. During convivial evenings spent with friends, Enrico Dellapiana brought to the table some bottles of unfiltred Chardonnay samples directly from the steel vats, which turned out to be a pleasant inspiration. Sterbu is a fresh, carefree wine, perfect for sipping beside the pool or on a sunny beach. The wine is aged on lees and characterized by a long-mineral persistence.
