Location: Langhe, Piedmont
Grape: 100% Nebbiolo
Vineyard: Hillside vineyards at 820 to 1640 feet altitude
Soils: Tortonian marl (more aromatic, softer tannins) & Serravallian sandstone (more structure)
Harvest: 2024 had variable weather in Piedmont, with later season rains helping to balance earlier heat. Nebbiolo harvest typically ran from late September to mid October.
Winemaking: Classic winemaking, with frequent daily pump overs, and a 15-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 82°F for optimum flavor and extraction. It was then aged in neutral wood barrels before being given two to three months’ rest and maturity within the bottle.
Tasting notes: Vibrant red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, with hints of rose, violet, and savory herbal notes. The palate is supported by vibrant acidity and firm but refined tannins, with a bright and lifted character.
Pairing: Ideal with mushroom dishes, braised meats, truffle pasta, or aged cheeses. Serve at 60 to 64°F.
