Grape Nebbiolo
Vineyards From the accurate blend of Nebbiolo grapes sourced from 9 different vineyards in the Barolo region, in particular in the village of Serralunga (“Ornato”, “Briccolina”, “Serra” and “Lirano”), Monforte (“Mosconi”), Novello (“Ravera”), La Morra (“Roncaglie”) and Grinzane Cavour (“Gustava” and “Garretti”).
Vinification Fermentation and long maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks. We then proceed with the final meticulous blend of locations and the long ageing in big barrels of French and Eastern Europe oak for nearly 24 months and for a small amount in French oak barriques. Long bottle ageing before release to increase drinkability.
Notes
This is not a “regular” Barolo!
The harmonious fusion of multiple terroirs gives the possibility to catch the unique and diverse characters of Nebbiolo from different positions and exposures of this region and to represent them as a whole in a complete and balanced Barolo, following the Langhe tradition.
Structured and sharp tannins meet a pleasant finesse, with ripen and spicy red fruits, with long persistence.
Extremely long ageing potential.
Produced every year respecting the style of Pio Family, since 1881.
