Tasting Notes
Maturation
In French oak barriques for almost 8 months with extensive lees contact.
Palate
Spicy, creamy and intense with a soft but long aftertaste. Sweet fruit, hot and ripe, still very fresh with an elegant touch of oak. Long life. Produced in very small quantity.
Vinification
The grapes are picked in small baskets, then softly pressed at low temperature. The fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks and then finishes in French oak barriques, new for only one third.
Region Notes
Sourced from our Family-owned vineyards Il Bricco in Treiso, located in the Barbaresco area, and Colombaro in Serralunga dAlba, located in the Barolo area, which will be replaced from the 2019 vintage with the Mosconi vineyard in Monforte dAlba. Since the 1985 vintage, it represents our desire to produce a white wine with the same body, complexity and ageing potential of the great reds historically produced in the area.
