Pasta Bossolasco: From the seeds to the packaging within the agricultural company estate

All the wheat used to make our pasta is grown on our own land in Savigliano, near Cuneo. A land geared towards agricultre, which transmits its goodness to every product grown in its soil. The choice of raw material is the secret to achieve an excellent product. For this reason the Bossolasco family went down to the fields, literally, selecting three different varieties of high-quality durum wheat. Our methods of cultivation unite tradition and modernity while respecting the environment. We achieve the right semolina blend with high organoleptic properties from a diverse and complementary mix of three tasty types of wheat. levante grain LEVANTE The first type of durum wheat we selected is a mid-late season variety, which is cold hardy, disease resistent and strong, like the local people. Thanks to the high protein content, the gluten quality and a good yellow colour, we can obtain the perfect semolina for the production of a pasta which holds its shape when cooked... odisseo grain ODISSEO A variety of mid-season durum wheat with a high tiller density (development of new shoots).

Tenuta il Canovino:... the Good Land... the Time... the Aging

Our lands are exposed to the South, pleasant slopes at 170/230 m. above sea level. The vineyard updated over the years, has a form of espalier with density of plants equal to 7.250/ha. The estate develops in the known Valpolicella, which soil are made by the crumbling of limestone-dolomite formations, basalts, moraines and river deposits of volcanic origin and for this present aspects of variability, resulting in a different water supply the screw at various stages of development and growth of the leaf and then during the ripening of the grapes. Each wine has its time…the ability to understand, the patience to respect, the constant care and the meticulous attention to detail make a wine a great wine. One example: our Amarone. Aging is an essential step and at the same time the most delicate in the production of wine, to the point that is sometimes called “a second harvest”. It will access only the best grapes, healthy and perfectly ripe, not only on the skin but also internally; careful selection allows us to select only those bunches “sparse”, those with the grapes not too close together, so as to leave the air circulate. The grapes are distributed strictly in a single layer, on large wooden boxes, the plateaux (crates). Small nuggets dark rest this way for about 120 days. Hour after hour, day after day, wither withering and lose weight in varying proportion depending on the type of grape from 35 to 45%.And finally aging. After alcoholic fermentation; after that, in stainless steel vats, the flavors, the fragrances and color have found the right harmony. Only then the wine is ready to rest in the silence of the cellar. There, the aging: 70% for 2 years in Slavonia’s oak barrels; 30% in barriques from Allier oak for 24 months; latest 12 months in bottles. The magic is done.
