100% Nebbiolo from the Bordini site, 240m high in the village of Neive in the Barbaresco production zone. It's a 4.5-hectare south-facing site at 240m elevation on calcareous soils, and the vines have an average age 40 years. The site is sustainably farmed with no use of chemical herbicides or pesticides. The fruit undergoes maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of 14 days. Malolactic conversion takes place in seasoned French oak barrels, followed by 16 months of aging. It is then bottle-aged for about six months. The wine is light ruby red and shows hints of wild strawberry, white pepper and licorice. The palate is fresh and enveloping, with hints of small red berries, nutmeg and marshmallow. The finish is gentle and persistent.
