Vineyard |
The nine hectares of vineyards in one single formation, at an altitude of around 300 meters above sea level, form an impressive amphitheater surrounding the buildings of Tenuta Tamburnin. They rest on ferrous-clay soils with the presence of red clays. The vine training system used is espalier with Guyot pruning in which 6-7 buds are left, and the harvest is manual. |
Vinification |
After blending herb and spice infused alcohol with wine base, the vermouth ages for 60-90 days in steel tanks. |
Pairing |
To be enjoyed on it's own served chilled as an excellent aperitif or with cocktails. Also pairs well with dark chocolate. |
Tenuta Tamburnin dates back to 1840, producing wines and vermouth in the hills of the Asti province. Sisters Elena, Valeria and Claudia Gaidano farm this family estate using sustainable practices in both the vineyards and the winery, and the site is currently under organic conversion. Historically linked to the traditions of Turin, their handmade vermouth is expertly combined with pure cane sugar and a fine selection of herbs and spices such as vanilla, rhubarb ,chamomile, wormwood, and gentian, before left to soak naturally in their wine.
