description
Grape variety: 100% Nebbiolo
Soil composition and exposure: Calcareous and clayey soil, with a silty-loam texture, with a slight prevalence of sand over clay and a generally important presence of silt. South/South-easterly exposure.
Harvesting: The grapes are hand-picked and selected in the second week of October.
Deep ruby red, with orange highlights.
Expansive and warm, with hints of rose, violet, truffle and tobacco with age.
PALATE: Full and dry, but harmonious, velvety and very persistent.
Pairings: It lends itself well to braised meats, game and hard, mature cheeses.
The elegance of this wine is undisputed, with such finesse and roundness originating from the age of the vines, the calcareous clay soil and the ideal microclimate of the Rocche dell’ Annunziata cru. We organise the ageing process, which can exceed two years, for each vintage, choosing from barrels of varying ages.
