STYLE

Bricco Ambrogio is a Barolo of great elegance. This plot has a perfect exposure to the sun and a hot microclimate where Nebbiolo clusters are always picked earlier and can differentiate themselves in the rainier and cooler vintages.  This Barolo shows warm and open perfumes, tending to ripe fruits and spices notes. The palate captures the attention for the structure that lean on silky and enjoyable tannins.
Food pairing: rich dishes such as mains with meat, game, stew and matured cheese.

WINEMAKING

In the months before the harvest, clusters are selected carefully and are harvested when the phenolic ripeness is at its best. This wine goes through the single-vineyard vinification, temperature-controlled fermentation with a long skin contact maceration that lasts about 20-30 days, sometimes with submerged cap. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and concrete tanks. The wine ages in big Slavonian oak barrels and French oak tonneaux for about 24-30 months. The wine is aged in bottle before being released. Formats available: bottle (75cl), magnum (1.5L), jeroboam (3L).
