Barbaresco Docg Sanadaive

VINEYARDS: Southwest-facing hillside vineyards situated in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio
(Alba). Elevation: 280 metres above sea level

VINES AND SOIL: 3 hectares: vines of approximately 30 years of age on
Lequio formations (grey marl alternating with sand layers)
GRAPE VARIETY: Nebbiolo
HARVEST: Hand-picked towards mid-October
VINIFICATION: The freshly-harvested grapes are crushed and destemmed. Fermentation is
spontaneous in stainless steel tanks at 27°-28° C. Maceration with submerged head lasts about
20 days. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place in steel tanks. The wine is naturally
cold-stabilised. The first elevage is for approximately 12 months in large oak barrels (30 hl-50 hl).
The wine is bottle-aged for about a further 9 months.
PRESENTATION: Available format: 0.75 l.
Alcohol content 13%-14.5% by volume depending on the vintage Garnet red highlights with
orange accents. Intense nose of rose hip, violet, licorice and dried flowers. On the palate it is
authentic, sincere, delicate, and pleasingly harmonious with silky tannins, even in youth.

WHEN: Excellent even in youth. Its tannins are already silky

and nveloping. Ageworthy–as the best Barbaresco always
is–it can be laid down for up to ten years. All in all, it is a wine to
be enjoyed at any time.

HOW: Store in a dark, dry place at a constant temperature

below 20° C. Serve at 18°-20° C in a large-bowled
Barbaresco) glass, possibly with a flared rim to fully release
the intense and complex nose. We recommend opening
the bottle at least an hour before serving.

CLASSIC PAIRING: Mushrooms and truffles, prepared in
any manner, are ideal companions. Risotto, tagliatelle and
hearty roasts are excellent pairings and a sure delectation.

UNUSUAL PAIRING: A wine for meditation accompanied
by finger food with Grana Padano cheese, with honey and
hazelnuts. Alternatively, serve it with a lively pasta alla
enovese. Mexico combined with the Langhe? Of course–if
it’s chili con carne.
