Fermented in Slovenian barrels, complex when young, maturing into a warm and intense wine with a long finish.
With grapes grown in soil rich in organic substances, the Barbaresco is fermented in Slavonian barrels for 9-10 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 going onto the finest tables. Complex when young, maturing with a fresh, richly fruity and floral fragrance, with strong and warm spicy notes.
A wonderful pairing with red meat and game dishes and a perfect partner to any dish containing truffles.
