Stërmà Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC

The way into Nebbiolo without the Barolo price — same grape, same hand, shorter ageing.

Nebbiolo 100%, clay-limestone. Crushing, destemming and cold maceration for a few days. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tank for around a week, then post-fermentation maceration of 10 to 12 days to extract aromatic and phenolic material as fully as possible. Twelve months in casks, six months in oak barriques.

In the glass — Ruby red with garnet reflections, more marked with time. Fruity nose, on cooked red fruit. Balanced on the palate, with fine roundness, finishing on fruit.

At the table — Roast and grilled red meats, washed-rind cheeses.

Serving — 18 to 20 °C. 14% vol. 75 cl.
