Barolo “Castelletto” DOCG 2013

The freshly harvested grapes are pressed, destemmed and placed in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Once fermentation has started, we proceed with daily pumping over to favor the extraction of colors and aromas. After 8 – 10 days the fermentation ends and we move on to submerged cap maceration. During maceration, which lasts on average 25 – 30 days, malolactic fermentation also takes place which contributes to making the wine stable from a microOrganic point of view. In December the aging in wood begins and lasts for approximately 30 months. This is followed by bottling and further refinement in the bottle for another 8 – 10 months, at the end of which the product will be ready for sale.

Bright and brilliant ruby ​​red colour, intense with light orange reflections. Clean, broad bouquet, with delicate notes of violet, spices, hay and liquorice. Harmonious, full and slightly dry taste with a very persistent and complex finish, which leaves a pleasant hint of liquorice.
