Formaat : 0,75 Lt.

Gradatie : 13,5% Vol.

VINE: Nebbiolo 100% - under Michet variety

VINIFICATION: Soft crushing of the hand-picked grapes with consequent rasping and fermentation in temperature-controlled (30-32°) pre-fermentation cryo-maceration for 48 hours. The tumultuous fermentation lasts about 9/10 days. At the end, the must undergoes a submerged cap post-fermentative maceration for about 90 days, as the oldest tradition of Barolo production.

REFINING: Immediately after the malolactic fermentation, which took place in December, the wine was put into wooden barrels, partly new and partly used. After being racked once a year, after 24 months it was blended in cement tanks from where it was left to rest for about 24 months for further natural stabilization, before being bottled during the summer. It refines in the bottle about a year before release. Garnet red color with ruby reflections. Intense aroma with a clear scent of vanilla, toasted hazelnut, licorice, tobacco and cinnamon. Fruity with scents of wild strawberries and blackberries. Full and elegant taste, full-bodied, austere, reminiscent of olfactory sensations. Pleasant are the woody and fruity notes that blend perfectly.

GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS: Wine of great structure, well suited to main courses of red meats, braised meats and game in general. It is an ideal companion to cheeses.
