BARBARESCO "NERVO"

2020

75cl

Grape variety: Nebbiolo

"The elegance and femininity of Barbaresco"

WINE
It comes from the proprietary vineyards within the geographical mention Nervo on the border with nearby Bernardot. The considerable slope of this side makes working the vineyard more difficult but improves drainage and solar radiation. The perfect microclimatic condition and the "poverty" of the white marl (sandy-calcareous) give the wine vertical tension and extreme finesse. On the palate it releases a dense and mineral substance; hints of raspberry, cinnamon and fresh mint, therefore a finish characterized by a linear tannic texture.

Serving temperature: 16°C.


WINEMAKING

Harvest:

manually in boxes, in the first ten days of October (with possible variations depending on the seasonal climate trend). Fermentation and maceration:
at a controlled temperature in steel tanks without exceeding 30°C, for a duration of approximately 3-4 weeks. At the end of the primary fermentation, malolactic fermentation followed which normally ends in about a month.

Refinement:

in large Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 12 months, then in concrete tanks for another 6-9 months and subsequently in the bottle before marketing.
