Tasting note
Rustic and spicy nose: strawberries and raspberries, but growing in a farmyard, not a garden, darkening in the mouth into blackberry and Morello cherry, plus a lick of liquorice.
Viticulture
The vineyards are situated around Piemonte, on mid to high altitude sites with good exposure and a high content of clayey and calcareous marl soils.
Vinification
Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks in contact with the grape skins between 28 and 30 degrees C, after 7-8 days malo-lactic fermentation is begun. After all the fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred into large used barrels for 9 months ageing, after which it is bottled.
Food Match
Excellent with pasta, particularly with a cheese based sauce, or meaty pizzas and pan fried or barbecued red meat.
