Trediberri, Barolo

2017 - Nebbiolo This wine is immediately appealing for its juicy red-cherry flavors and smooth texture. The tannins are like fine sandpaper, guiding the fruit without suppressing it, allowing notes of licorice and warm spice to emerge with exposure to air. Alcoholic fermentation happens in concrete and lasts around 12-14 days, followed by a 6-7 day post-fermentation maceration. Malolactic takes place in oak, and the wine ages for around 20 months in 52-hl and 25-hl oak barrels. After aging, the wine rests for some months in concrete, steel and plastic, before being bottled.
