Ruby with a brightening rim. Intensely fragrant nose: typical Nebbiolo notes of cherries, dried plums, nuts and sultanas, mixed with an interesting spicy note of undergrowth. Overall very beautiful and rich variety. Classically dry on the palate, with fine, well-ripened tannins. A rather feminine Barbaresco with plenty of warmth, elegant vigour and subtle tobacco notes on the finish.

Vinification
The Nebbiolo grapes come from the «Roncaglia» estate, whose vines are located right next to the GAJA plots. The grapes are gently pressed after the harvest and macerated and fermented for 12 to 15 days. The wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in large (partly new) oak barrels.
