Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Dark red color with hints of purple. Fat ripe black cherries on the nose, plush and forward with hints of vanilla, spices and clove. In the mouth, the fruit is forward and ripe, almost but not quite jammy, kept in harmony by the subtle acidity. It has good attack on the palate, and the mouthfeel is creamy, chocolately and soft with menthol notes.
This wine shows the warm Cannubi Boschis terroir to great advantage. The tannins are very sweet and long, but will still require some patience to soften. Though it is more forward and ready than its sibling the Le Vigne Barolo, it still needs time. Finish is long and sweet with oak & spice notes over the black cherries and black fruits.
Technical datas The 2009 vintage will be remembered for the unusually heavy winter snowfall. Combined with a fairly wet early spring, this restored the ground water supply, which was low after several dry seasons.
After April 30 the weather returned to normal and the germination was uneventful and even, thanks to little rain in May and above-average temperatures. The summer was characterized by low rainfall and periods of above-average heat. The vines had a regular linear development in all phenological aspects.
Good climatic conditions accompanied the end of the growing season and brought the grapes to optimum ripeness.
