Aroma
Spicy and citrus aromas.
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
Alcoholic fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks then end in French oak barriques, with very limited use of new oak and delicate toasting, where Piodilei rests for nearly 10 months. Long bottle ageing before release.
Region Notes
Sourced from our Family-owned vineyards “Il Bricco” in
Treiso, located in the Barbaresco area, and “Colombaro” in
Serralunga d’Alba, located in the Barolo area, which will
be replaced from the 2019 vintage with the “Mosconi”
vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. 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.
