DESCRIPTION
From the precious one hectare vineyard in the Monforte d'Alba area. Vigna Colonnello represents the union between the two souls of Barolo and celebrates the encounter between two chosen terroirs. A wine with velvety tannins and capable of expressing the finesse and elegance deriving from the Tortorian soil and the structure and power originating from the Serravallian soil.

Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes were crushed and only 65% destemmed. The maceration, which took place in stainless steel tanks, took about 7 days at a maximum temperature of 30 ° C. The malolactic fermentation ended before the end.
The aging took place in French oak barrels of different capacities for 18 months and for 24 months in steel. The wine aged 24 months in the bottle before being released on the market.
The Vigna Colonnello has a red color with orange ruby reflections. Pleasant hints of rose petals, raspberry and pomegranate on the nose, combined with spicy and balsamic notes. On the palate it is intense, with sweet, enveloping tannins and a long and consistent aftertaste.
