Where it comes from
This red wine is produced in Piedmont, in the Barolo area. The grapes come from a renowned plot, the Sarmassa cru, and specifically from the Vigna Merenda, which gives Nebbiolo a distinctive character. The wine is produced by Scarzello, a winery that enhances the area's unique soil and climate characteristics to create a long-lived wine, capable of evolving positively for over a decade.
How it is produced
The processing of Nebbiolo begins with a rigorous fermentation in steel, a technique that preserves the varietal aromas while ensuring optimal control. The wine then undergoes thirty months of ageing in wooden barrels. This maturation is essential to refine the tannic structure and provide stability, integrating the fruity notes with complex tertiary nuances. The result demonstrates solid production expertise, delivering a balanced sip to fully appreciate the refined flavour development.
