BARBARESCO DOCG RIZZI RISERVA "VIGNA BOITO"

"The strength and the austerity of Barbaresco”

THE WINE

Vigna Boito is located on the upper part of the Rizzi Cru. The soil is geologically younger than the surrounding areas: more clayey and deeper. The result is a classic and muscular wine with a great aging potential. To the nose one can detect notes of violet, ripe plum, liquorice and leather. For this wine Enrico Dellapiana “used both hands” to create: the first to make it and the other one to paint the label (each vintage has a different painting).

Serving Temperature: 16°C.

VINIFICATION
Harvest:

manual in small crates, in the first ten days of October (with slight variations depending on weather conditions).
Fermentation and maceration:

Ageing:

for about 18-21 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and then bottled before being released onto the market (not before than 50 months since November 1st following the harvest).
