Yields in the vineyard are kept very low to ensure that the vines can concentrate as much as possible the aromas and substances that make the wine so precious within the berries. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand to preserve the integrity of the raw material and, after fermentation in steel vats, it ages for around two years in large wooden barrels, making this Piedmontese red wine a sincere and classic expression of what a Barbaresco should be.
Once in the glass, the colour is garnet red with hues tending slightly towards brick red. On the nose, it offers a rich, intense and complex bouquet, with notes of small red fruits, dried violets and a delicate spicy note. Hints of leather and tobacco, resulting from the ageing process, also emerge on the finish. On the palate, it is dense, powerful and assertive, pleasantly tannic, with a refreshing and savoury finish.
This is a perfect wine to enjoy with friends, during a hearty Sunday lunch, paired with succulent red meat.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.
