Barbaresco, Castello di Verduno

BARBARESCO

D.O.C.G.

Vineyard

This Barbaresco is made from a selection of Nebbiolo grapes grown in several estate vineyards in the Barbaresco area (Rabajà, Rabajà-bass and Faset). The soil is composed by white earth, with a high limestone content , known as the “Marne di Sant’Agata”(30% sand – 55% clay – 15% calcium). From this kind of soil we obtain very elegant and fragrant wines, with a great potential ageing

Picking and maceration

The grapes are handpicked , sorting only the best bunches and placing them into a 20 kilos baskets. The harvest took place on September. The maceration in stainless steel tanks lasted 20 days, with daily punching down of the cap

Ageing

The wine was aged for 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks and 3 months in steel tanks, followed by 15 months in the bottle prior to its release on October

Tasting notes

Classic garnet red typical of the Nebbiolo variety. Clean and precise with strawberries, violets, ferns and black pepper at the nose. Long and flavoursome with wonderful balance
