Description BAROLO DOCG Vineyard:Varietal: Nebbiolo 100% Vineyard: Vineyards exclusively in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto Altitude: 300 metres a.s.l. Soil: white limestone and clay Vine training technique: Guyot Winemaking: It is the last grape varietal to be harvested when the grapes are nicely ripened and the tannins softer. Fermentation with maceration lasts 15 days in the barrels, and malo-lactic fermentation right after to take advantage of the temperature and the reduced environment of the recently completed fermentation. At the end of the winter, in order to control its power, the wine is partly racked into 50-hectolitre-barrels and partly into the old barriques where it will stay for three years. Bottling takes place in the summer. Wine: In the Nebbiolo the colour of the anthocyanins is easily released and remains delicate. However, Barolo, right from its first years of life, has a marvellous garnet red colour that is never too strong; the bouquet reminds of scents of spices, violet, cocoa, truffles. It is a top quality wine thanks to its remarkable tannins that soften with ageing.
