NEBBIOLO D'ALBA ROCCHERI D.O.C. 2022

Ruby red color with garnet edges. The sweet notes of wild berry jam emerge on the nose alongside notes of wild violet. The flavor is intense, with spicy hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, structured and well-balanced, with soft and persuasive tannins.

Name: Nebbiolo d'Alba D.O.C.

Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo

Production area: Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont

Training system: Guyot counter-espalier

Hand-harvest in crates: manual in box

Winemaking: selective destemming and delicate pressing of the bunches which are subjected to fermentation at a controlled temperature in thermo-conditioned tanks. Subsequently, maceration is promoted through repeated soft pumping over of the wine on the pomace cap to delicately extract tannins and color in a gradual and selective way. The separation of the skins occurs only when this extraction is maximum

Refinement: the wine is decanted into vitrified concrete vats, while the post-fermentation temperature of around 22°C is maintained for a long time. In this way the malolactic fermentation starts and ends spontaneously in a short time. The aging in wood lasts approximately 12 months and is carried out in small 30 hl Slavonian oak barrels which complete its evolution, refining its harmony and increasing the breadth of the bouquet.
