LE GINESTRE BAROLO RISERVA SOTTOCASTELLO DI NOVELLO DOCG 2017

PRODUCTION ZONE: the vineyard is located in the
municipality of Novello in the prestigious “Sottocastello di
Novello” zone. It enjoys south to south-easterly expo-sure at an
average altitude of 400 metres above sea level.
VINIFICATION: on skins with emerged cap, with daily
pumping over; maceration is prolonged for several days after
alcoholic fermentation by immersing the cap of grape marc
(cap splint) in order to increase extraction and stabilise the
colour extracted.
AGING: three years before being bottled. It spends a year
ageing in the bottle and is then released for sale.
TASTING NOTES: deep, bright ruby red colour with slight
orangey highlights, a clean and ample nose with scents of
violet, vanilla, cinnamon, sweet tobacco and liquorice, and a
full, very structured, smooth and slightly dry taste with a
persistent, pleasant and spicy finish. Thanks to its structure and
polyphenolic richness, this wine shows exceptional longevity
and offers ever-increa-sing sensory emotions.
PARINGS: furred game, braised beef and aged cheese
