MONOLITE 2020: HERE IS HIC ET NUNC’S CUTTING-EDGE CORTESE

Tempo di lettura: 2.3 minuti
vini monferrato metodo classico

Monolite 2020 is the Cortese that represents our revival. The first label that we have vinified, it is the symbol of Hic et Nunc’s new view of Monferrato

Varietal purity, respect for tradition and “nude” vinification processes designed to fully respect the characteristics, aromas and expressiveness of the native vines that we grow in Mongetto, on the hills of Vignale Monferrato. The 2020 vintage further confirms that Monolite is a successful bet: a proof that the Cortese grape, oftentimes underestimated, really has what it takes. A wine with incredible freshness and longevity, this label has established itself among the native whites of Monferrato and left a lasting impression on critics.

Why Monolite 2020?

  • Because it unhinges prejudices about Cortese wine
    Le uve cortese, in Monferrato, sono tradizionalmente utilizzate per vini vivaci, di poche pretese, da bere molto giovani. Hic et Nunc ha scardinato questa abitudine attraverso una viticoltura e una vinificazione che restituissero dignità, longevità e profondità alla grande espressività del Cortese.
  • Because it is a wine with a surprising evolution
    Monolite è ricco, opulento, longevo, ben bilanciato tra frutto e freschezza.
  • Because it is a single-vineyard wine that authentically expresses its area of origin
    La longevità di Monolite è sorprendente. Una parte del vino (circa il 10%) viene affinata in barrique, fattore che aiuta a sviluppare una struttura decisamente più complessa, capace di resistere al tempo. Monolite può conservato in cantina per qualche anno, evolvendosi in un vino sempre più etereo, connotato da delicati aromi di pietra focaia, composti idrocarburici e note agrumate.
  • Because it is a single-vineyard wine that authentically expresses its area of origin
    Among the numerous received, we would like to mention Walter Speller who wrote the following on jancisrobinson.com: « I never thought I would say that I admire Cortese, but the Corteses of Hic et Nunc are something else». (read the full article here)
