PRODUCTION ZONE
Southwest-facing hillside vineyards situated in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio (Alba).
Elevation: 280 metres above sea level

VINES AND SOIL
3 hectares: vines of approximately 30 years of age on Lequio formations (grey marl alternating with sand layers)

GRAPE VARIETY
Nebbiolo

HARVEST
Hand-picked towards mid-October

VINIFICATION
The freshly-harvested grapes are crushed and destemmed.
Fermentation is spontaneous in stainless steel tanks at 27°-28° C. Maceration with submerged head lasts about 20 days.
Spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place in steel tanks.
The wine is naturally cold-stabilised. The first elevage is for approximately 12 months in large oak barrels (30 hl-50 hl).
The wine is bottle-aged for about a further 9 months.

PRESENTATION
Alcohol content 13%-14.5% by volume depending on the vintage Garnet red highlights with orange accents.
Intense nose of rose hip, violet, licorice and dried flowers.
On the palate it is authentic, sincere, delicate, and pleasingly harmonious with silky tannins, even in youth.

WHEN
Excellent even in youth.
Its tannins are already silky and enveloping.
Ageworthy–as the best Barbaresco always is–it can be laid down for up to ten years.
All in all, it is a wine to be enjoyed at any time.

HOW
Store in a dark, dry place at a constant temperature below 20° C. Serve at 18°-20° C in a large-bowled (Barbaresco) glass,
possibly with a flared rim to fully release the intense and complex nose. We recommend opening the bottle at least an hour before serving.

CLASSIC PAIRING
Mushrooms and truffles, prepared in any manner, are ideal companions. Risotto, tagliatelle and hearty roasts are excellent pairings and a sure delectation.

UNUSUAL PAIRING
A wine for meditation accompanied by finger food with Grana Padano cheese, with honey and hazelnuts. Alternatively, serve
it with a lively pasta alla genovese. Mexico combined with the Langhe? Of course–if it’s chili con carne.
