Tortoniano Barolo

In steel tanks. 17 /18 days of maceration with the skins, with a soft “shower” system of wetting the cap at a temperature between 32°C and 27°C. Malolactic fermentation in steel. Minimum of 3 years, aged for 24 months in average-sized oak casks before refinement in the bottle.

Calcareous marl clay of sedimentary marine origin from the Tortonian period (9 million years ago); 12% active limestone and a basic Ph. Significant presence of microelements, specifically magnesium and manganese. Manual harvest, preceded by summer thinning of excess bunches of grape.

Garnet with brilliant luminous hues. Inviting, complex with notes of rose petals , juniper berries and fine spices. Ample, good structure with a silky texture of tannins which already give a surprising harmony to the juvenile stage of this Barolo. Remarkable elegance and persistence.
