Barbaresco DOCG
100% Nebbiolo
Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow to avoid oxidation and reduce considerably the use of sulphur. After destemming, berries are hand-sorted on a second vibrating table and finally softly crushed. This process is “100% screw conveyor free” to handle grapes as gently as possible.
The must is cooled to preserve its best characters before fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature. The maceration is long acting using délestage and, partially, submerged cap technique in conic wood vats for over 20 days. The ageing of 20 months is made in medium size oak casks (2500 liters).
Deep ruby red with garnet hues. Wide, intense and pleasant bouquet with scent of blackberry, liquorice, violets, tobacco, spices and faded roses. Very recognizable nebbiolo grapes. Fine, velvety, medium to full bodied and very well balanced with silky tannins and elegant long finish.
