Domaine Pierre Usseglio - Cuvée de mon Aieul 2019
Domaine Usseglio is located in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region in the Rhône Valley. It was created in 1948 by an Italian immigrant, Francis Usseglio, who came to work as a vineyard-worker. The following year, Francis Usseglio produced his wine under his own label. Domaine Usseglio was taken over by his son Pierre Usseglio and is now managed by his sons; Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio, who divide their time between the vineyard and the cellar and have a philosophy of improving quality without compromising the traditional style adopted by their father. The vineyard covers 24 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape (red and white), Lirac, Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de France.
Cuvée de mon Aïeul is made from old Grenache vines ranging in age from 75 to 90 years old. Vinification and aging are carried out in concrete vats. The optimal time to drink this wine is between 10 and 12 years.
