Grape variety100% Nebbiolo
MaturationThe art of winemaking begins with the careful grape harvest, which traditionally takes place in October. Each grape is harvested by hand to ensure the optimal quality of the wine. Immediately after the harvest, it is crucial to process the grapes promptly. This step involves destemming and pressing the grapes, which is done simultaneously by a specially designed machine. This immediate processing guarantees that the freshness and intensity of the aromas are preserved without alteration. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes, a variety known for its complex and multi-layered aromas. The special character of this wine requires it to mature for at least three years. Of this time, the wine spends at least 18 months in oak barrels. This aging in wooden barrels helps to refine the structure and taste of the wine, giving it depth and complexity. The resulting wine is remarkably long-lasting. Thanks to its intact structure, it can continue to develop over many years, with its aromas and flavors maturing and refining. It is also robust enough to withstand long journeys without losing quality. All these characteristics make it an outstanding representative of its type, which delights both connoisseurs and gourmets and pleases sophisticated palates.

ScentThe aroma of this wine unfolds a magnificent spectrum of scents, inviting the connoisseur on a sensory journey. From the first moment, it reveals a symphonic composition of floral and fruity notes that dance and merge together. Delicate violet aromas float gracefully in the air, accompanied by a hint of elegant rose petals, lending a poetic lightness to the fragrance. These floral hints are artfully enveloped by the richness of sun-kissed berries, with ripe black cherries and juicy blackberries particularly prominent. A subtle touch of raspberries adds a fresh vibrancy. As the wine breathes, another layer of its olfactory diversity unfolds. Warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, lending the bouquet an inviting depth and complexity. Subtle notes of fine leather and dried herbs further enhance the fragrance, praising its careful production and maturation. At the base of this aromatic diversity lies a fine minerality, giving the fragrance structure and elegance. A hint of wet slate and cool earth recalls the origins of this wine and its close connection to its terroir. Overall, the wine's aroma presents itself as a harmonious masterpiece, in which each layer of aromas is artfully coordinated, offering an unparalleled olfactory experience.

TasteThis wine presents itself with an expressive and long-lasting character that will win over even the most discerning palates. Initially, floral notes, particularly those of violets, dominate, shaping the first impression and lending the wine an elegant freshness. However, it doesn't stop there: with time and exposure to air and maturation, the wine continues to develop, with the initial violet notes evolving into a complex variety of aromas. This development is particularly evident in a blend of spicy and fruity aromas, reminiscent of perfectly ripe berries and subtle spice nuances. All these impressions are supported by a remarkable structure and depth, giving the wine an extended presence on the palate. This wine not only offers immediate enjoyment but also promises to reveal new facets over the years, making it a great companion for special occasions and cellaring.
Serving suggestionThis exquisitely multi-layered wine is the perfect choice to elevate a culinary experience to an extraordinary level. Its complex aromas and depth of flavor harmonize beautifully with sophisticated main courses, especially when serving high-quality game or wild fowl. The rich variety of flavors in this wine creates a harmonious interplay with the earthy and robust notes of game dishes. No less fascinating is the combination of this wine with strong cheeses. The wine is designed to caress and balance the rich, intense notes of a mature cheese. Equally impressive is its surprising alliance with desserts that prominently feature dark chocolate. The wine's velvety body enhances the depth of the chocolate aromas, adding a new dimension to the dessert. Because of its elegance and versatility, it is ideally suited as an aperitif for celebratory occasions or festive evenings, where it delights both connoisseurs and casual drinkers with its grace. Furthermore, thanks to its remarkable aging potential, this wine is a valuable collector's item.
