Ca' del Baio "Vallegrande" Barbaresco 2020, 750ml

The most traditional-style Barbaresco is grown on the vineyards that surround the winery, and is aged – as in the past – only in big casks.

100% Nebiollo planted in bluish clayey-limestone marl, facing west.

Traditional stem-free on-the-skins fermentation for 7 to 15 days in steel at a controlled temperature. The wine matures for 24 months in casks made of Slavonian oak, and is then cellared for 6 months in the bottle prior to release.

Tasting Note:

Nose intense, with powerful fruit, dried flowers and underbrush; taste dry, smooth and rounded, ending in a warm finish with nicely-balanced tannins.
