Technical profile

Where everything was born, where Nebbiolo was already cultivated and produced in the past, and it was called like this, because Barolo was born 100 years later. To remember the tradition, the historical parcel of Bartolomeo, in the vinification we want to make Nebbiolo as a Nebbiolo and bring out its typical characteristics of the vineyard, the central soul, the pivot of the Langhe. Following the manual harvesting of Nebbiolo grapes from our vineyard with a cooler microclimate, we proceed to the spontaneous fermentation with whole grapes, without stems, in concrete tanks for about 15 days at a temperature of 22 to 28 °C. This is followed by ageing for 1 year in large Slavonian oak barrels

Tasting notes

Ruby red colour with violet reflections tending towards garnet. The nose is persistent, ethereal, hints of flowers such as violets and fresh red fruit, above all strawberries, typical of a young Nebbiolo. Harmonious and full sweetness in the mouth. Vibrant tannin. Nebbiolo as it should be
