Barbaresco D.O.C.G.

100% Nebbiolo.

These are the oldest vineyards of the Estate, enjoying a southwesterly exposure, situated at an altitude of about 400 metres above see level. Plantation arrangement: 5,200 vines per Ha.

Hills characterised by medium-high slopes.
Nature of the soil: clayey/calcareous.

The grapes are carefully selected and hand picked from the end of September till mid October and put into small baskets. Upon soft pressing of the grapes, a long and traditional maceration follows at a controlled temperature. Once the wine is devatted, the malolactic fermentation takes place. The clarifying process is carried out through many decantation phases.

For at least 24 months in oak barrels, smaller barriques and tonneaux. Bottling during the Summer season, after two years maturing.
Bottles are kept into the cellar at a controlled temperature for at least six months.

Intense ruby red evolving into garnet reflexes with maturation.

Fine and persistent, it evolves into spicy notes with maturation. Among the different and complex sensations, the well balanced forest fruit notes are enhanced by ethereal sensations of boisé and liquorice.

Well bodied and dry, with a well balanced acidity. Smooth and consistent tannins make the product full and round to the palate. The harmonic and persistent aftertaste is characteristic of this varietal and this territory.
