Technical notes
Vinification: obtained by traditional fermentation carried out in stainless steel containers floating, at a controlled temperature (28° C), for an average of 10-12 days.
Ageing: the wine ages in wood for at least four months and then in the bottle for at least one or two months. The wine peaks immediately and remains constant for at least three to four years after harvest, varying considerably from vintage to vintage.
Organoleptic notes
When young, it features a fragrance which is wonderfully spontaneous and full of surprise. In its bouquet, colour, and generous, velvety body this langhe Nebbiolo brings out all the typical qualities of the magnificent vine it is made from. Later in life its colour becomes garnet-red with delicate orange shades, and its nose deepens, with traces of withered flowers, such as roses and, above-all, geraniums. Its warm, soft, well-bodied flavour is velvety and well-balanced, lingering in the mouth.
Pairings
Ideal with flavoursome pasta dishes, meats and medium-mature cheeses.
