THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Vinification took place in temperature-controlled tanks with maceration lasting for 17 to 18 days on the skins. A gentle ‘shower system’ of submerging the cap was used during fermentation, which took place between 27 to 32°C. Malolactic conversion took place in the tank, before the wine was racked to large oak casks for 18 months. Further refinement took place in the bottle for a minimum of six months.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
This elegant and refined garnet-coloured Barbaresco delivers delicate, complex and refined aromas, with ethereal notes of rose petals and tea layered upon small red berry fruits. On the palate, it is silky and beautifully balanced with soft, fine tannins and remarkable length.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Nebbiolo 100%.
