Wine Information

Classification: Barolo DOCG

 

Grapes: Nebbiolo 100%

 

Origin & Soil: From the Bussia vineyards in Monforte. Height 350 m. South exposed.
Origins go back to the Tortonian era. Calcareous compact clay alternated with sandy layers.

 

Taste: Intense garne colour with ruby reflexes. On the nose, intense perfume of plum and ripe cherry with hints of flowers and spicy aromas. On the palate, intense with soft tannins and a long final taste. Due to its structure and body, it is a perfect match for meat and game dishes, and cheeses. Ideal serving temperature 17°C.

 

Climate Vintage: The hot and dry Spring allowed the vines to bud a month earlier than usual. During flowering the weather was mild with no rainfalls. Summer was very hot and dry. The grapes matured earlier than average, reaching a very high level of sugar and aromatic concentration, typical of the very best vintages. The harvest started on October 12 and finished on October 15.

 

Vintage: The selected grapes were destemmed and pressed. Maceration lasted 12 days at a maximum temperature of 30°C in Austrian 53Hl vats. Malolactic fermentation was carried out before the end of the winter.
Ageing took place in 50 Hl French oak barrels and a small quantity in second time used Barriques. A further 12 months of bottle ageing followed in the Prunotto cellars before shipping.
Alcohol 14.00% vol.
Total Acidity 5.8 g/l
Dry extract 29.40 g/l
