Tasting Notes

The Nebbiolo grapes come exclusively from the vineyard 'Rocche dell'Annunziata ", one of the historical crus of La Morra. The vinification again is traditional, with a maceration which can last about two weeks. The wine is then aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, and then fined for at least one year in the bottle. Elegant and soft to the palate, it is characterized by the fruity notes of raspberry and a floral and spicy nose. ames Suckling - "Smells like a bunch of fresh pink roses with cherry and raspberry undertones. Full body, yet reserved and tight. A toned and clear wine with brilliance. Give it two or three years to soften."

Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.


LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.


TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.


VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
