Briccolina 2013

Made from Nebbiolo grapes from the vineyard of the same name, the first to be converted to biodynamic method. The wine is the result of a maniacal selection of grapes both in the vineyard and in the winery, with the must subject to submerged cap maceration for 20 days and then another 40 days not submerged. Fermentation takes place in open wood vats using indigenous yeasts and the wine matures for 36 months in large barrels to then age for at least 12 months in the bottle.

The color is a lovely, slightly intense ruby with a slightly orange edge, while the aroma has light scents of dried flowers and ripe fruit with a little spice. The mouthfeel is meaty, thick and dry with rather fine tannins and a nice persistence.

Bottles produced: 2,000.
