Winemaking
Approximately 20% whole clusters are fermented and macerated together with the crushed and destemmed grapes for about 12–15 days at a maximum temperature of 29–31°C. After pressing and racking, the wine is transferred to French tonneau , where it ages for 18 months.. The wine is further aged in horizontally stored bottles for at least 6 months before packaging and release. Only 1,120 bottles of this wine were produced
Organoleptic Characteristics - Preservation
This Barolo Brunate was born from the sincere friendship between Virna and Raffaella Pittatore, owner of the vineyard. It displays a bright, deep ruby-red color. On the nose, it offers an explosion of small red fruits such as redcurrant and pomegranate, accompanied by sweet spice notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with pronounced, austere tannins, lively acidity, and a fruity finish reminiscent of strawberry candy and violet. Serving recommended in large glasses at a temperature of 17-18°C
