The Nebbiolo grapes used to produce Barolo Riserva 10Anni come from two of the most important vineyards in the municipality of Verduno: Monvigliero and Boscatto. The resulting grapes are highly concentrated and rich in substances. Once they arrive at the winery, the grapes from the two Crus are vinified separately, and each individual batch is aged for five years in large wooden casks. Only at this stage are the two wines blended into a single one, which will then remain in the cask for another five years: the Riserva 10 Anni.
After harvesting, the grapes are pressed, and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks after a short period in contact with dry ice to increase complexity and aroma. Skin maceration takes place over 15 days, assuring good color and body. A long period of maturation in large oak barrels (4 years) with subsequent rest in bottle.
Tasting impression: Intense garnet red, ample and elegant bouquet delicately spiced, with hints of flowers and small red fruits. On the palate, an opulent structure buoyed by soft tannins, overlaid with ripe fruit and liquorice. Extraordinary ageing capacity. Tasting temperature: 18°C
Meal coupling: Perfect in combination with red meat and furred game dishes, but also very rich fish dishes, such as baked turbot, as well as with fine cheeses.
