Red dry
The wine is made from the single "Pora" vineyard, grown on limestone and clay soils. Fermentation took place at 30°C, with maceration lasting 32 days. Malolactic fermentation was carried out. The wine was aged for 36 months in large oak casks and 9 months in bottle.
The wine offers aromas of dried cranberries, pine bark, balsamic vinegar reduction, and cured meat. With solid tannins, full-bodied and elegant.
Serve at 16–18 °C with red meat or game stews with wild mushrooms/truffles, grilled steaks or aged cheeses.
"Aromas of sandalwood, rosewood and damson plums lead the nose of this Barbaresco. As the wine develops notes of violet and dark spices emerge. There is a seriousness to the palate. The dark fruits are standing at attention as savory flavors fill out the ranks. Firm but not overpowering the tannins show grace yet remain taut and polished.
Attractive notes of red currants and cherries with hints of cedar, walnuts and crushed stones. Juicy with bright fruit and firm, chalky tannins. Medium- to full-bodied. It’s lingering and lightly chewy at the end with notes of bitter oranges. Better after 2027. Friday, May 03, 2024
