Description
The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in the Verduno region (Boscatto and Monvigliero), at 300 to 350 ft. above sea level. The average age of the vines is 50 years, and they are grown on a southwest and south-facing slope in calcareous clay soil, at a density of about 5,000 plants per acre. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed, and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks after a short period of cold stabilization to increase complexity and aroma. Skin maceration takes place over 15 days, assuring good color and body. Serving Hints This wine is a perfect accompaniment to red meats and an array of Italian cheeses, pastas, and risottos.
