100% Nebbiolo from 15-year old vines growing on the Bricco di Neive cru Barbaresco site. The vineyard has a southwestern aspect and sits on calcareous, sandy soils at 350m above sea level. The must is fermented in steel vats at controlled temperatures and aged for five months in steel and another five months in Slavonian oak barrels. This is what Nick Stock had to say about it: “It has an impressive resolve to it, quite savoury and yet very lightly fragrant too, there’s an earthy cherry fruit nose with hazelnut, anise and a distinct edge of sweet hung meat. The palate has a wealth of dusty, chalky tannin and terrific acidity. There’s plenty of rich, sultry Nebbiolo fruit, dried red berries and a smooth, drying finish. Superb cut and depth, this makes for impressive value.”
