Barbaresco - Rongalio Riserva 2016 Orlando Abrigo

Barbaresco - Rongalio Riserva 2016

最良の年だけ、最も古い畑から。

メルッツァーノの中で最も古く貴重な畑、樹齢35〜40年のネッビオーロから、最良の年にのみ生まれるリゼルヴァです。大樽で24か月、さらに12か月以上の瓶熟成を経ています。スミレやプラム、チェリーの層に、シナモン、コショウ、リコリス、タバコや白トリュフのニュアンスが重なります。鉄や亜鉛に富む土壌が個性と熟成適性を与え、滑らかなアタックから調和のとれた長い余韻へと続きます。

Tasting note

Its ruby-red color is characterized by a rich, complex, and extremely elegant aroma. Layers of violet, plum, and cherry are complemented by cinnamon, pepper, licorice, and even hints of tobacco and white truffle. The palate is dry and well-balanced, with a firm, smooth attack that gradually develops into an elegant, harmonious palate with a long, lingering finish.

Winemaking & technical data

After gentle pressing, the grapes are macerated with the skins for 25-30 days. During this time, a vinificator is used to control the temperature and extract the tannins by delastage. The wine is aged for 20-22 months in 25hL Slavonian oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine is bottled unfiltered and aged for 8-10 months before being shipped.

This wine is produced only in the best vintages, using grapes from the oldest vines in the Meluzzano vineyards, which enjoy excellent light conditions, microclimate and soils.
