Product: The term "90 di" refers to the traditional method of keeping the cap of grape skins submerged for 90 days after fermentation. This is done by placing oak planks in a parallel pattern inside the tank, preventing the skins from rising. The tank is then completely filled with wine to eliminate air exposure and sealed. This extended maceration allows for a gentle extraction of desirable elements from the skins, enhancing complexity and texture. By minimising oxygen contact, the process also enables a slow, controlled post-fermentation period that contributes to the wine’s elegance and longevity.
This wine has a bright garnet red hue with orange reflections. The nose has intense aromas typical of Nebbiolo - rose, truffle, weathered leather. On the palate it has hints of black cherry, truffle, sweet spices, and notes of dried herbs. By this point, the tannins seamlessly complement the tertiary characters adding considerable depth and complexity to the persistent finish.
