Grape variety : Nebbiolo
Production area: Monforte d'Alba, South-West exposure 300 m above sea level
Surface area: approximately half a hectare
Harvest: manual in baskets with selection of bunches around mid-October.
Vinification: selection of the grapes on a vibrating table, soft pressing, fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature with frequent pumping over and délestages. Maceration for approximately 20 days.
Aging: at least 30 months in traditional oak barrels and subsequently in the bottle in the underground cellar with controlled temperature and humidity until released for sale.
Organoleptic characteristics: the color is an intense red with shades from ruby to garnet. The aroma is complex with hints reminiscent of cinchona and cocoa beans, juniper and roasted coffee. The wine envelops and fills the palate thanks to a full and decisive tannin. A soft and elegant finish increases the pleasure of drinking with a persistence that never ends.
Food pairings: the wine has body and structure with a well-present tannin, ideal with tasty dishes with a clear and evident succulence such as: baked loin of wild boar; beef diaphragm with ponzu and sesame sauce with black cabbage; ribeye steak in red wine; braised in Barolo.
Service: 16°-18° C.
Storage: keep the bottles lying down in rooms at a constant temperature if possible. It is a ready-to-drink wine and can be kept in the cellar for 15 - 20 years.
