It displays an \u003cstrong\u003eintense garnet red\u003c\/strong\u003e colour and an ethereal, complex bouquet, characterised by notes of tobacco, raspberry, violet and spices, enriched by the typical hint of goudron. On the palate, it is rounded and elegant, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft and balanced tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that define its solid structure, enhanced by ageing in oak barrels. To fully appreciate its character, it is recommended to serve it between 16 and 18 degrees, paired with \u003cstrong\u003efirst courses with porcini mushrooms\u003c\/strong\u003e, braised meats and spicy cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Piedmont, in the heart of the Barbaresco area, in the municipality of Neive. The vineyards grow on \u003cstrong\u003ecompact, impermeable calcareous-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, which force the roots to go deep in search of water. This condition encourages the development of loose bunches with small berries, ensuring a high mineral concentration. As a Riserva, the wine undergoes an ageing process of at least five years and has an \u003cstrong\u003eevolutionary potential\u003c\/strong\u003e that can exceed \u003cstrong\u003etwenty years\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is carried out by hand to ensure a rigorous selection of the bunches. After destemming, \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in steel tanks, with maceration on the skins for about fifteen days and frequent pumping over to optimally extract colour and aromas. Subsequently, the wine rests in vitrified cement tanks before maturing in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian and French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it achieves perfect harmony. The production cycle is completed with a long \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e before being released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label of this wine stands out for its illustrations of historic buildings and an ancient coat of arms, elements that add a touch of tradition and heritage. Among the most interesting facts, this Barbaresco is released on the market only after a minimum ageing of five years from the harvest and has a potential for cellar evolution that exceeds twenty years.
