Ascione Alongi: research wines, flowing and territorial
The Ascione Alongi collection brings together wines born from the experience of two protagonists of Italian wine, Giovanni Ascione and Maurizio Alongi, united by a common vision: to interpret the grapes with precision, respect, and maximum drinkability. The result is an essential yet identity-driven selection, built on fruit, freshness, and lightness of drink, with a style that favors elegance over superstructure.
This proposal speaks to those seeking authentic wines, modern in form but deeply connected to the history of the territories and grape varieties from which they originate. The approach is that of a true négociant, with particular attention to the masses, the grapes, and the most coherent expressions of the chosen varieties.
A journey between Tuscany and Campania, with great experience behind
Giovanni Ascione and Maurizio Alongi bring with them a technical and human background developed over many harvests and in various Italian regions. Maurizio, with the Maurizio Alongi Società Agricola, has narrated the elegance of a small corner of Gaiole in Chianti through the Vigna Barbischio Riserva, while Giovanni has created one of the most significant experiences in Campanian and southern viticulture with Nanni Copè, in the high Caserta area.
Today their journey focuses on a reasoned selection of grapes with great potential, aiming to produce direct, clear, and recognizable wines. It is a project that combines artisanal sensitivity and a deep understanding of the vineyard, without seeking excessive concentration or interventions that alter its expression.
Canaiolo and Colorino: two historic autochthonous varieties, two different interpretations
The stylistic heart of this collection is the work on Canaiolo and Colorino, two historic Tuscan autochthonous varieties historically present mainly in the oldest vineyards of Chianti. They are different yet complementary grapes, perfectly representing the idea of lean, dynamic wines with great personality.
-
Canaiolo: less rich in color, with livelier tannins, a fruity texture centered on red tones, and a constant floral imprint.
-
Colorino: spicier, deeper in color, with almost inky notes, ripe black fruit, and good taste density.
In both cases, the goal is a winemaking process that avoids over-extraction, over-ripening, and excessive influence from containers. The result is wines that focus on immediacy, harmony, and drinkability, without sacrificing complexity and character.
