This wine displays hints of violets, cherries, raspberries, wild herbs & hints of tar, as well as ripe tannins & high acidity. Long, elegant & complex on the finish. The grapes for this wine mainly come from the Ormeggio & Castagnola vineyas in the Orolungo region. The climate is dry with generous light, & cool night breezes mitigate the hot summer days & ensure a long growing season. Soils are marine sands, mixed with glacial sediment, rich in minerals & trace elements. These ancient marine sands make the soils here some of the most acidic in the wine producing world (p H4.5-5.5), but at the same time allow the vines' roots to explore deep into the ground & absorb minerals in quantities impossible in other conditions. Plant density is 5, 000 vines per hectare, using the best, newest clones. Vespolina grapes were h&-picked in the last week in September, whereas the Nebbiolo grapes were not harvested until the second week in October. The grapes were destemmed & pressed then the must vinified in the old, gravity-fed cellar which dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Fermentation took place in squat, open upright oak casks with natural yeasts. Maceration lasted 3-4 weeks with regular punching down of the cap. The wine was aged in a mixture of new & old barriques (225L), puncheons (500L) & oval 15 hectolitre casks for 30 months. Grape varieties: 95% Nebbiolo, 5% Vespolina. SILVER
