Description

100% Nebbiolo. Vineyard of origin: “Serra” vineyard, in the Perno area in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba (Cuneo). The vineyard faces southeast and extends for about a hectare. Harvesting: Late October, when fully ripe. Winemaking: Traditional extended maceration. Fermentation on wild yeast takes up to 30 days, at room temperature and in steel vats, with remontage to break up the submerged cap. Aging: After the natural clarification, refinement lasts for about 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels of medium capacity (30-50hl). The wine is then bottled and continues ageing for more than 24 months before commercialization. The wine is neither filtered nor fined; a thin sediment is possible and decanting is recommended. Alcohol content: About 14°. Notes: Undergrowth, definitely intense. Full-bodied, elegant with integrated and smooth tannins, black berries, with long finish.
