Barolo from the area Monforte d’Alba. Sub-area: Castelletto

Grapes variety: 100% Nebbiolo

Vinification: no added yeast, instead a pied-de-cuve is prepared around 10 days before the harvest and added to the crushed grapes. Fermentation starts spontaneously. We do punch downs and submerged cap fermentation, with a minimum of 35 days of skin contact. Aged minimum 18 months in Austrian oak of 50 Hl. Before bottling, the wine does a little passage in concrete and then refines at least 12 months in bottle.

Characteristics: very complex nose, with cherry, wild berries but also spices and floral notes. Versatile and powerful on the palate with very good structure. Very long finish.

Alcohol content: 14.5 % vol.

Food pairing: perfect with mature cheeses and red meat dishes.

Serve at 16°-18°C
