2016 Ca’Bianca Tenimenti Barolo DOCG
Production district: Langhe in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto in the province of Cuneo. Altitude and aspect
Altitude and aspect:320m above sea level, south-west aspect
Type of soil:The soils are composed of marl-limestone with numerous sandy veins that allow the Nebbiolo grape to develop glossy, delicate tannins.
Harvest:The grapes are harvested in mid-October. Picking is done exclusively by hand, with the grapes placed in cases.
Winemaking method:Once the grapes have arrived in the cellar, they are pressed and destemmed and then transferred to temperature-controlled vertical fermentation vessels. This is where alcoholic fermentation begins. At the end of this process, post-fermentation maceration on the skins takes place for around 20 days, followed by separation of the free rum juice by means of pressing. We thus have the new wine ready for ageing.
Ageing:The aging process envisages around two months in steel, followed by approximately 24 months in French oak barrels and a mixture of new and used barriques, after which the various batches are blended and bottled. The final stage of ageing takes place in the bottle for about six months, and makes it possible to achieve optimum development.
Sensory profile:Garnet red hue, followed by a delicate, elegant nose, bringing together notes of spice with ripe red berry fruit and blossom. Barolo is a highly structured, full-bodied wine, in which velvety tannins caress the palate on the finish. Recommended cellaring
In bottle laid down, preferably in dark cellar; pleasurable even if opened eight-ten years after release.
Food pairing:Excellent with braised red meat, game and polenta. Also to be enjoyed on its own at the end of the meal as a “vino da meditazione”
