| Community Tasting Notes | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 1/30/2019: Was all arms and legs after a two hour decant so I left it until the next day. Different animal. Some lovely Indian spice perfume to the aroma. There's teak, truffle, bitter chocolate and rose petals too. It is strong Barbaresco, with a palate that is dense and savoury. There's some tangy balsamic, leather and fig and a finish that is quite earthy. (623 views) |

Giù il cappello di fronte a questo giovane produttore che non attua compromessi e va diritto per la sua strada , ecco un confortante esempio di giovani leve langarole.
La visita comincia dalla vigna (bonus) dove si pratica l'inerbimento e si cerca di mantenere il più possibile inalterato l' ecosistema vigna.
Le vigne sono piuttosto vecchie e ottenute da selezione massale.
La macerazione sulle bucce dura , a seconda delle annate , un centinaio di giorni e si usa la tecnica del cappello sommerso con steccatura.
Tecnica piuttosto "arcaica" ma a quanto pare piuttosto efficace.
Gli affinamenti in botti grandi e qualche barrique "scarica" è lunghissimo e alcuni vini escono anche dopo 10 anni. NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.
