2013 La Briccolina Barolo

Estate Notes: Aromas of black cherries, light spice, red roses, peppery notes. Structured, deeply complex; full-bodied, expressive. Hand-harvested in mid-October. Grapes destemmed, lightly crushed and fermented on selected yeasts in wooden vats (called “tine”). The wine is pulled from the marc and transferred to stainless steel tanks until the following spring; when malolactic conversion is complete, the wine is moved to traditional botti (20HL). Aged in botti for two years; in bottle for at least one year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Estate vines grow in a natural amphitheater in cru ‘Briccolina,’ facing south/southeast, at 1,050 feet above sea level. Soils combine limestone mixed with marl. 50+ year-old vines. 100% Nebbiolo
