With grapes grown in soil rich in organic substances, the Barbaresco is fermented in Slavonian barrels for 9-1o months followed by refinement in the bottle for 12 months. Grapes are not harvested until the first autumn fog (nebbia means fog), a practise which historically led to intensely tannic wines that required years of ageing before onto the finest tables. Complex when young, maturing into a fresh, richly fruity & floral fragrances, with strong and warm spicy notes.  Elegant, characterised by its completeness, balance and longevity.

Serve at room temperature and pair with red meat, wild game or matured and spicy cheeses.  The perfect wine to have with a truffle dish.
