Where it comes from
This expression comes to life in Verduno, where the Bel Colle winery cultivates local varieties. The base wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes, grown on the renowned hills of Barolo, a region that gives the must a solid and noble structure. This base represents the ideal foundation for subsequent aromatisation, allowing the wine to maintain its identity. The characteristics of the soil define a profile of great depth, enriching the sip with a soft and balanced taste texture.
How it is produced
The process aims to enhance the authentic identity of the original grape variety. The base wine is enriched through a slow infusion that defines the complex and fascinating character of this speciality. The recipe involves a careful selection of natural ingredients, including cinchona bark, gentian root, cardamom, and a measured component of cinnamon and cloves. This artisanal technique perfectly balances the bitter note with the wine's natural sweetness. Ideal at the end of a meal, it enhances sophisticated pairings such as dark chocolate and mature cheeses.
