Name: Barolo Docg Cerequio
Variety: 100% nebbiolo
Vineyard: In the territory of Barolo; with an East-South/East exposure. In the clayey-calcareous soil, with sand veins, the absence of marls is counterbalanced by portions of rock; soil depth on the rock 1/1.5 metres. Density of vines: 4300/ hectare; the rootstock is Kober/SO4; age of vines approximately 25 years.
Vinification: in red by crushing and destemming; fermentation in steel at controlled temperature for 10/12 days, successive skin submerged-cap maceration for 15/20 days. Racking in small wooden barrels for malolactic fermentation, then decanting and ageing in new small and second/third passage wooden barrels for two years. Afterwards, bottling and refinement in bottles for one year.
Description: bright red colour with light garnet red shades; balsamic, spicy aroma that opens slowly and shows elegant complexity and harmony; very full, succulent and long lasting taste that fills the mouth; sweet and fine tannins that go well with the scent of wood, giving the wine an optimum structure and elegance.
