Barolo DOCG Simposio
“Simposio” refers to a “meeting” (blending) of grapes from different vineyards close to the winery. Vineyards are all located in the west side of the Barolo area (Verduno, La Morra and Novello).
Tasting Notes
The best expression of the Piedmont region, this Nebbiolo is garnet-red in color with fine aromas of chocolate, toast and spice from its aging in wood. Velvety, with great structure and big tannins that smooth out during the aging process.
Vineyards
The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in a number of Barolo villages, at 200 to 300 feet about sea level. The average age of the vines is 50 years and they are grown on a southern exposure in calcareous clay soils.
Winemaking
After harvesting, the grapes started fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled steel tanks after a short period in contact with dry ice to increase complexity and aroma. Skin maceration takes place for 15 days, assuring good color and body. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 1,300-gallon French oak casks, then the wine spends 36 months in Slavonian oak casks of different sizes and then six months in bottles before shipping.
