Food Matching Note:
A very versatile wine, it accompanies a wide range of dishes such as soups, risotto, and charcuterie.
Tasting Note:
Deep garnet in colour with a subtle nose of red berry fruit. Soft and elegant on the palate with fine ripe tannin and a complex finish.
Vinification Note:
The grapes come from the Communes of Serralunga d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto, La Morra, Novello, Treiso and Alba. The terrain, exposed to the south, south-west or south-east, is of a clayey, silicious-calcareous type.
The maximum yield per hectare is 100 quintals of grapes, and grapes are harvested in October, before the Nebbiolo. Fermentation is carried out for about 8-20 days, in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 27-28 degrees C. Malolactic fermentation follows, before a year in large oak barrels.
