ROERO RISERVA "TESTUN"

Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo

Exposure: The plot is located in a southern position.

Altitude: 330 meters above sea level

Terrain: In this vineyard the soil is sandy-clayey and the position is hilly, we find a predominance of yellow sands stratified with gravel and marl. Excellent permeability and alkaline pH.

Harvest: The harvest, still manual as tradition dictates, takes place in small baskets to avoid damaging the grapes.

Vinification: The first winemaking operations are destemming and pressing, followed by fermentation for about 10 days, with daily pumping over while maintaining a constant temperature between 28°C/30°C, for the entire duration of the fermentation itself. After this period, the wine is racked and malolactic fermentation is carried out, always in vats, and then the refinement in small barrels begins.

Filtration: Yes.

Bottle ageing: Yes.

Alcoholic Strength: From 13.5% to 15% depending on the year.

Food Pairings: Roero Riserva “TESTUN” pairs well with structured first courses and meat dishes.
Ideal with typical Piedmontese appetizers such as raw meat (tartare or albese), veal with tuna sauce and Russian salad. Excellent with mature cheeses, grilled or well-seasoned red meats and game.

Commercial Presentation: 0.75 bottles, packs of 6 bottles.

Organoleptic Characteristics: TESTUN has an intense garnet color. It is broad, complex and energetic on the nose. Notes of ripe fruit and spices such as pepper and cinnamon prevail over the primary aromas. The firm structure blends acidity and alcoholic power and allows the aromas to open up progressively. The finish is long, persistent and with soft and well-balanced tannins.
