| Soil composition |
Clay and calcareous marl-rich soils of Miocene-Helvetian and Tortonian origin. |
| Vinification |
The fermentation is traditional, lasting 12-15 days in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature.The wine then stays on the skins for a further 30-40 days, with a “submerged head” maceration to optimize the extraction of the polyphenolic substances. |
| Ageing |
In order to be labelled as a "Riserva” (Reserve), according to the law Barolo wine must have undergone at least 5 years of maturing before it is released. The first three years are spent in medium and big size oak barrels (20-140 hectolitres), then the wine ages for one year in large concrete tanks and – finally – for the last one in bottle. |
| Pairing |
Ideal match for big red meat dishes, and medium and mature cheeses, this wine also provides pleasant company during afterdinner conversation. |
