Langhe Rosso
Denominazione di Origine Controllata
Philosophy:
tradition and innovation; Langhe Rosso represents one of our most important ideas: creating a traditional wine in a young style.
Grapes:
Nebbiolo 100%
Average age of vines: 30 years
mass selection of vines.
Production area:
the grapes assigned to the production of this wine come equally from selections of vineyards with a Southern, South-Eastern exposure in the area of Rocche di Castiglione Falletto from Cascina Pira and from vineyards with a Southern, South-Western exposure in Paje cru.
Training System:
low Guyot on hills with good slope.
Yield per Hectare:
60 hectoliters.
Harvest Time:
end of September and October.
Vinification:
grapes are hand-picked; soft pressing with destemming. Temperature-controlled fermentation in wood casks. Maceration for 30-50 days, so that the autochthonous characteristics of this vine are extracted. It is shorter than the other wines so that the result is a “young” and important wine.
Aging:
3-4 years in medium-sized French oak casks, then in the bottle. If kept properly it has a long life.
Tasting Notes:
garnet-red color with ruby shades. Intense nose with a clear “goudron” (tarry) aroma, tobacco, spices and white flowers. Full and elegant taste with a great structure, consistent with the olfactory sensations.
Food matching:
thanks to its good structure, this wine can be well matched with complex dishes, first course, roasted or stew meat, as well as medium-ripe cheese, but not too spicy.
Bottle sizes:
0.750 liters
How to serve:
Serving temperature: 18°C
We suggest to open the bottle 1 hour earlier than tasting.
To be served in a large burgundy glass.
