Designation: Langhe D.O.C.
Variety: pinot noir
First vintage produced: 2007. Produced only in certain vintages.
Harvest time: mid-September
Vinification: from grapes coming from two different vineyards: one in the municipality of Dogliani at 380 m above sea level, with a medium-textured, calcareous-clayey soil, the other in Bossolasco at 700 m above sea level with a loose, calcareous soil. After harvesting, the grapes are refrigerated in cells. A part of the grapes is destemmed, the rest is put intact in the tank. A pre-maceration precedes the alcoholic fermentation. After racking, the wine is stored in stainless steel for malolactic fermentation and transferred to large casks and barriques.
Ageing: oak casks.
Description: ruby red colour. Fruity with hints of dog rose, raspberry, currant and red cherry. Round, silky tannins that enrich a refined finish. Intense and complex, elegant and persuasive.
Food Pairings: starters, pasta, baked and grilled white and red meats. Aged cheeses.
