2020 Gianfranco Bovio Barolo Arborina DOCG

Year planted: 1982

Wines made: Barolo DOCG Arborina

Municipality: La Morra

Exposure: Southerly – Easterly

Grape: 100% Nebbiolo

Vinification and ageing: Soft crushing of the grapes.

Fermentation with indigenous yeasts for about 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, during which pumping over is carried out at regular intervals to ensure optimal extraction of the color and tannins contained in the grape skins. This is followed by medium-long maceration using the submerged cap technique. This is followed by racking and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked into oak barrels where it ages for 20 to 24 months; it is then racked into concrete tanks where it rests for a few months before being bottled.

Sensory features: Ruby red color with brick red highlights. The bouquet is fresh, with scents of nuts and vanilla. The palate is smooth with an elegant and persistent, sweet tannin.
