3 elementer udgør grundfilosofien på Beppe Pescaja’s vingård:
SOLEN – er det første vigtige element. Solen står for omsorg
for naturen og enkelhed. Synonym for terroir og mikroklima.
HJERTET – er drivkraften der holder gang fortagsomhed og
kreative idéer. Det daglige liv med passionen for forbedringer.
SJÆLEN – er vigtig at have med hele vejen for at give
personlighed og skabe det unikke i sin egen stil.
Producenten Beppe Pescaja er meget kendt lokalt i Piemonte
hvor hans Barbera-vine konstant ligger helt i top i de lokale
vinguider og vinkonkurrencer der afholdes hvert år i Piemonte.
Beppe er utrolig passioneret og entusiastisk og det er som om
Lidt om vinene:
De 2 meget kraftfulde rødvine ”Solis” og ”Soliter” er topvinene
på hhv. Barbera/Cabernet Sauvignon og 100% Barbera. Begge
lagret på små egefade. ”Soliter” er den rene frugtige Barbera
uden fadlagring. Nebbiolo’en fra den ”forkerte” side af floden
(dvs. fra Roero) er det elegante lyse modsvar på Barbera.
Hvidvinene ”Solo Luna” og Roero Arneis er begge på 100%
Arneis-druer. Velnok den hvide drue som har størst potentiale i
Piemonte. ”Solo Luna” er fadlagret og en af de mest komplette
hvidvine fra Piemonte, men produktionen er meget lille.
PIEMONTE
denne passion kan smages i hans vine. Pescaja ønsker at lade
terrioret komme til udtryk i vinene frem for at give dem et
internationalt præg og fælles for alle hans vine er, at de er
fantastisk elegante, kraftfulde, frugtige og i perfekt balance.
Arneis-hvidvinsdruen er Pescajas store stolthed – han har
været en af drivkrafterne bag den nye DOC Terre Alfieri.
Beppe bruger en speciel teknik med flydende kvælstof til hurtig
nedkøling af druerne. Han er én af blot 15 vinproducenter på
verdensplan, der har et anlæg som dette. Vinene produceres
uden brug af sprøjtemidler og andre kemikalier. Der tilsættes
kun lidt sulfitter til sidst i processen for at stabilisere vinen.

Today for his revolutionary production methods and his work on the vines, Beppe has really created his own Arneis
that cannot be equaled in terms of its concentration and expression. Today it is possible to find Pescaja wines on wine
menus of the most famous restaurants in Milan and Turin for example “Il Sorriso di Soriso”, the most famous Piedmont
restaurant (3 Michelin stars) or at the Grand Hotel in Milan (5 stars). Here the search for the exceptional and the final
expression of the land is permanent. The new white wine, Terre Alfieri, has been defined as a completely new type of
benchmark in terms of white wines. It has become an international classic on the same level as Chablis, Sancerre or
Pouilly-Fumé.

Acquisition of a “cryogenic” continuous cooling machine of the pressing for the transfer of
the must in a carbon dioxide snow cyclone at –20° C.
Plantation of 4 hectares of vines (Arneis, Chardonnay, Sauvignon) in the area of the Alfieri hills
with the aim of producing a new white sine that is very original and universal.
Construction of a splendid new winery, partially underground beneath the hills of Cisterna
d’Asti, endowed with a revolutionary system of the permanent immersion of the cap by a
system of horizontal rotation.
Acquisition of the most important Pescaja land “Opera Pia” in the really beautiful area
of Nizza Monferrato, the land of the grand piedmontese red: the Barbera
Lunnae is created, a pure and concentrated Arneis, aged in barrels, the final result of
Beppe’s exceptional savoir-faire in terms of white wine.
At 19 years of age Guido Giuseppe acquires the first cisterna d’asti vines and builds his first winery. For
him producing wine is a great aspiration (the love of life, his passion for nature and vineyards show the
richness of the land) and as a challenge he throws himself in this profession in spite of his studies in
economics that promise him a brilliant career. Initially, Beppe produces only white wines, based on the
famous autoctone vine from Piedmont: the “Arneis”.

Pescaja
Piemontesi wines from the XXI century
Wines with a unique charcter, modeled by the soul of Beppe
Beppe loves to associate some philosophic thoughts with each bottle. His wines are not the fruits of hazard but the result of a
profound reflection on the connection between life and the earth, wine being the ultimate expression of this alliance. Each label
tells a story, it’s up to our palates to discover it! Of one thing we can be certain: all the wines have a strong personality!
An innovative company, using the very latest technology
The love of the land and the desire to express it does not mean holding back on the use of the most sophisticated equipment
that will get the greatest number of possible characteristics from a wine. At Pescaja all the innovative methods that still leave
the natural goodness are used to produce a “modern” wine suited to the demands of the times and endowed with a strong
personality. Horizontal rotary wine-makers are part of the special equipment that Beppe uses. They allow a super-extraction of
the must and especially the tannin contained in the skins thus completely eliminating the extraction of the tannin in the grape
pips. The total cooling technique of the must prevents it from becoming sulphurous during fermentation and reduces the presence
of exogenous products in the wines.
The association of traditional viticulture with great quality
“Hi-Tech” equipment does not mean forgetting about looking after the vines. On the contrary the characteristics of the grapes
are super-expressed sublimated by using the technique, it is only possible to work with material of the highest quality. Beppe
pays particular attention to the care of the vines and to obtaining bunches of grapes of unparalleled purity and concentration.
The quality of the new plantation can be clearly seen from afar, bordering on perfection.
Attention to detail and precision in the extreme
Points 1 and 2 highlight this goal but the final touch that perfectly translates the insatiable desire for perfection that animates
Beppe can be seen in the professional elegance of the Pescaja bottles, an out-of-the-ordinary confection, The labels are covered
in a green leaf protected by a plastic microfilm created by one of the oldest and noblest printmakers in Italy who have a unique
experience in the field. These labels express the finesse of the Pescaja wines and the continuous search for perfection.
Fruity wines!
Few wines have a strong personality and a fruity taste that is so powerful and decidedly pure. Due to the striking nature of his
wines, Beppe is a bit of magician in Piedmont.
Tanks: four 100 hectoliter tanks with automatic total immersion of the must and regular injection of
oxygen. Electronic temperature control for each individual tank. Ultra-sophisticated instantaneous
cooling system of the must (only very few producers in the world have such equipment).
More than 35 tanks allow the lots to be separated at the end so to produce wine of exceptional
quality. The barrique cellar is located under the hill and the use of air-conditioning in the cellar
is very limited and the wines thus benefit in terms of quality.
All the materials belong to Pescaja and production at all times is personally supervised. This
ensures constant control of all the various stages the final product being what one can only
describe as “perfect”!

Localisation: they are mainly located in “Roero”, “Langhe”, and the “Colline Alfieri” in the area
of “del Monferrato”; three zones that are particularly suited to vine growing (the many hills
ensure perfect exposure to the sun). They are also influenced by the nearby alps (hard winters and
cool summer nights) and by the mediterranean sea which is only 80 km away.
For the red vines the land is basically limestone, for the whites it is sandy-clayey.

km from Turin.
