Podere ai Valloni - Nebbiolo - Gratus - 2020
Cool climate, high elevation Nebbiolo! After an involved grape sorting and selection the wine ferments for 7-9 days before being racked into a large 2500 liter oak botte for a minimum of 12 months. When it emerges the color is an intense garnet with a complex nose of raspberry, macerated cherry, rose petal, blood orange and white pepper. The tannin is present but elegant, overall persistent and balanced.
