Delicate on the nose with red fruits, peaches and apple notes. The vague tannins tighten the structure and underline the dark mineral finish.
Nebbiolo d'alba sterma
Only the best lots produced by this vineyard are bottled under the label “Stërmà”, just to better show the individual character of this Nebbiolo.
Barolo ravera
This wine has been aged in tonneaux and barrels after one or two wines. The lots have been blended in June 2016 and the wine has been bottled one month later.
