Tasting Notes
Barbaresco, coming from the Starderi, Serraboella and a small portion of Albesani vineyards in the village of Neive. The soil is predominantly marly and calcareous, with some clay and sand, giving a wine of exceptional balance and finesse. Fermentation takes place in oak fermenters (“tini”) and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks for up to 18 months. The wine shows beautiful floral notes, accompanied by hints of red fruits. Its pleasantness highlights the more refined character of this territory. The Barbaresco Albesani is a superb expression of Nebbiolo. Grapes are sourced only from the Albesani cru in Neive. There is great ageing potential with complex and elegant aromas of red fruits and notes of tobacco and hay.
