The Nebbiolo grapes are dry grown in a Ferguson Valley vineyard and handpicked once ripened. The crush is cold soaked, wild, whole berry fermented in Amphora clay pots. The juice is then gently extracted using a basket press into used large format French oak for maturation. Maturation occurs for 14 months. Can be cellared for up to 10 years.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas: Complex aromas. Chocolate, forest floor, red liquorice. Oso bucco richness with hints of rose petals soaking through.
Palate: Medium bodied and fresh front palate. Some density, some earthiness. Bitter toffee with sprinkling of musk, bruised strawberries and raspberries. Coffee grounds. Tannins are well integrated, gorgeously chalky and super fine.
