The Wine:
The fruit selected is grown on Pizzini's highest vineyard site (350 meters above sea level). The vineyard was planted using a new clone, Nebbiolo 230. Only the best bunches of grapes are harvested for this wine. They are crushed and de-stemmed into small fermentation vats and inoculated with a Barolo yeast which allows maximum varietal characters to come through. The fermentation reaches 30 degrees C for 4-5 days; the wine is then lightly pressed and transferred to new French oak barrels where it ages for two years.
Deep garnet red in colour with a classic orange hue typical of this variety. Complex aromas of dried roses, violets, spice, dark fruits, earth and an underlying tarriness. The palate is rich and powerful with flavours of star anise, prunes, chocolate and black tea. The textured tannins and full flavour make for a wine of great poise and structure. Enjoy with spiced pork ribs, game meats or aged
