VINEYARD
Layered clay and limestone soils from vineyards near the famed town of Castiglione Falletto. Fruit selected from vineyards 300-400 m above sea level - mostly Southwest facing. Spring frosts reduced production, good rainfall in June helped see through drought conditions in the summer months. A hard-growing season was rewarded with fantastic quality fruit. Fantastic vintage.
WINEMAKING
100% Nebbiolo, handpicked fruit, destemmed, 6-8 day maceration at controlled temperature, pumped over twice a day. Short aging in large concrete tanks.
TASTING
What a wine! Bright purple and garnet highlights. On the nose delightful floral bouquet. Medium body, classic bright red berries, a little tar, roses and spice. Lovely weighted tannin gives a the perfect persistent finish. Delicious!
