description
Made only in the best vintages from grapes grown in the oldest Nebbiolo vineyard of our winery (sixty years). Grapes are selected from the Serraboellla cru, aged for two years in French oak barrels (1/3 new, 2/3 second pass) and two years in 2500-litre barrels of Slavonian oak. This wine carries significant and dry tannins and has great longevity.
Granato intenso e brillante.
Quadro olfattivo ampio e profondo nelle tonalità di rosa appassita, amarena sotto spirito, gelatina al lampone, terra bagnata, rabarbaro, torba, tabacco biondo, bacca di ginepro e china.
Soffi minerali in chiusura. Il sorso è pieno, ampio, elegante nei tannini, con struttura vigorosa e lunga scia sapida.
