  • This is a supremely voluptuous Nebbiolo from vines with an average age of over 50 years. This wine shows charming aromas of essential oils and notes of sandalwood, cinchona, oleander, laurel, and almond tree. It is complex and deeper on the nose, with a persistent cedar note. Sweet fruit aromas include white melon, pear, coriander, sage, and other aromatic herbs. It is well-structured in the mouth, combined with a refreshing acidity.

2017 is a vintage of “concentration”. Winter and spring were dry and mild (230 mm of rain from May 1st to October 1st); therefore, bud break, ripening period and harvest turned out to be anticipated in a couple of weeks. Luckily, the spread of diseases has almost been absent. Given these peculiar conditions, the vineyard management and the winemaking approach aimed to safeguard the freshness and balance of the wines. Thankfully, at the beginning of September, 50 mm of rain decreased the temperatures and helped to reach a full ripeness of grapes, even if slightly irregular. The early harvest started on August 7th and finished on September 15. The quantity resulted in a 40% decrease in production due to the small size of bunches and green harvest. We handled the grapes with particular care, applying extremely soft pressing of bunches and shortening the maceration process. The wines show a complex aromatic profile and high acidity, with intense fruity, spicy, botanical and mineral aromas and flavours. The red wines feature a bright, intense colour and a concentrated, powerful, balanced character. Overall, 2017 resulted in a vintage of deficient production and great quality.
