Vintage Millesimato 2020
The vintage began with a mild winter followed by the months of March and April marked by fine weather and little rainfall. The rainy days of May and June caused a slowdown in plant growth. The situation was later normalized. The haverst started on August 21 with Alta
Langa. Barbera and Nebbiolo ripening has slowed down but it has been taken up in the second half of September. Especially Nebbiolo grapes were harvested in optimal conditions. The 2020 vintage can be said to be extremely good with intense and elegant aromas and with well- balanced wine.

Winemaking Information
FERMENTATION PROCESS: Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow. After destemming and crushing, the must is leaved for 2-4 hours in an inert nitrogen environment. Then happen the bleeding and soft pressing. This process is “100% screw conveyor free” to handle grapes as gently as possible.
The must is fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature and kept 6 months on lees with bâtonnage.
SPARKLING METHOD: The foam formation is carried out according to the traditional method of fermentation in the bottle, with aging on lees for at least 36 months. The liqueur d’expédition added after disgorgement is made following our secret recipe including reserve wines and sugar (7 g/L). We proudly avoid any spirits in our dosage.
The difference is...
OUDEIS derives from the Greek “Odysseus” and means no one. In fact, no one is at the origin of the wine complexity; only the terroir has this ability and Enrico Serafino recalls it in this name.
This wine is the result of Alta Langa’s terroir complexity and long-lasting fermentation, meanwhile, the short maceration gives an interesting rosé colour inviting to look at. OUDEIS ROSÉ DE SAIGNÉE is very appealing and enjoyable at the first sight.
