About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in the Basarin subzone of Neive. The sites face south-west and have predominantly calcareous soils, with approximately 4,200 vines per hectare trained using the Guyot system.
Grapes
100% Nebbiolo.
Vinification
Harvest takes place in early October. After destemming and crushing, the must ferments on the skins at controlled temperature. Frequent pump-overs promote the extraction of colour, polyphenols and tannins. Maceration lasts 12–15 days.
Ageing
The wine matures for 24 months in large 2,500-litre casks.
Technical data
Alcohol: 14% vol.
Tasting profile
An elegant, austere wine with a bright red colour and orange highlights. Its complex, ethereal bouquet combines violet, red-fruit preserve, pepper, vanilla and liquorice, alongside dried flowers and other spice nuances. The palate is dry, generous and balanced, with good structure, evident tannins, harmony and a persistent finish.
Serving and pairing
Pair with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Its structure and aromatic complexity also suit contemplative drinking.
