Rizieri, Nebbiolo d’Alba 2015
This Nebbiolo is an excellent reflection of terroir and wine of origin. Apart from expressing familiar Nebbiolo characteristics, the wine also expresses great minerality, balance and the ageability one would expect from a premium Nebbiolo.
Characteristics
Tasting notes
Bright ruby-red with garnet reflections. Intense nose packed with rosehips, ripe red fruits and marinated cherries. Balsamic and spicy hints, powder, dark chocolate and hazelnut in the background. In the mouth, it is elegant, harmonious with good freshness, velvety tannins and a long finish. Perfect reflection of the variety of origin, it shares bouquet and elegance with the Barolo.
Gastronomy
Perfect combination with roasted or stewed meats. It is the noble compendium for the hand-made tajarin with white truffle of Alba. Excellent with aged cheeses.
Vineyards
Made from Nebbiolo grape from single vineyard Sorì del Ricchino, where soil is calcareous and clayey, and aging in French oak for 12 months and in bottle for 12 months, this bright ruby-red wine has great minerality, balance and the ageability of a premium Nebbiolo.
Aging method
Over 12 months in French oak barrels of 25 hl and tonneaux (500L). Upon a passage in stainless steel tanks, it is bottled without filtration and rests 12 months before being released on the market. Final products will be released about 30 months after harvestin
