Tasting note
Nebbiolo, Piedmont's royal grape, from the Langhe, dizzyingly fragrant with dried roses and dried geraniums, followed by a soft, full-bodied mouthful of red fruit.
Viticulture
From the hills of Roero and Langhe on soils with calcareous marl.
Vinification
It is made in a traditional way, with a 7-8 day floating cap fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (28°C). It is aged in wood for at least 8 months and then in the bottle for 2-3- months. It will usually reach its peak 3-4 years after the harvest, but this period can vary considerably depending on the vintage.
Food Match
Ideal with flavoursome pasta dishes, meats and medium-mature cheeses.
