BARBARESCO TRADITION D.O.C.G. 2021

Bright ruby red in colour with delicate garnet highlights. The nose is fresh and floral, with balsamic notes of violet, dried rose petals, peppermint and redcurrant. Fine, persistent and well-structured on the palate, with enveloping tannins and a pleasant forest-floor finish.

Designation: Barbaresco DOCG

Harvest: picked by hand into crates, selecting only the finest bunches

Vinification: the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed before undergoing alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Skin maceration takes place simultaneously, extracting the grapes’ finest components, including colour, aromas and tannins. Maceration lasts approximately 15 days, during which repeated pump-overs over the cap encourage a gradual and balanced extraction

Ageing: after racking, the wine is aged for approximately 12 months in 30 and 60 hl Slavonian oak casks. It reaches its full expression after resting in the bottle for at least a further 12 months
