The typical wine from the area of Pinerolo, the Ramìe d.o.c. is a classic example of a mountain wine, whose growing area is strictly limited to the villages Pomaretto and Perosa Argentina.
Said wine is named after the area called “lì Ramìe” which in the local dialect means “stack of wood”. Such name dates back to the Middle Ages, when the villagers began with the deforestation of the zone in order to plant vineyards. For that reason they also built terraces (so called “bari”) and dry-stone walls which are still characterizing the landscape as well as the morphology of the surrounding area. At present the strict rules and regulations relevant to wine producing set forth that the wine has to be a mixture of grapes grown in the local vines Avanà (30%), Avarengo (minimum 15%), Neretto (minimum 20%) and other non-aromatic black grapes. Such rules and regulations have been settled further to the awarding of the registered designation of origin with the name “Pinerolese” in 1996. The Ramìe is a full-bodied ruby red wine, with a myriad of berry aromas; it is spicy and intense, velvety and elegant with 10% vol. minimum alcoholic content.
