Barolo
D.O.C.G. NEIRANE
CRU
a cru of Verduno, along the border with La Morra. The vineyard faces southwest at an altitude of about 350 meters. The soil is loose and sandy, which confers upon this wine floral sensations of violets and red fruits, together with a distinct elegance.
Vinification
The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-30 °C. The maceration lasts 20-22 days. After racking, the wine is held at about 20°C to allow initiation of a malolactic fermentation.
Aging
The wine is then held in barriques and tonneaux for about 6-7 months before transfer to botti (capacity 2000 liters) made of Slavonian oak to age 23-24 months. At the end of this period, the wine is bottled in August and released the following March.
