PODERI COLLA BAROLO RISERVA 2016

Winery notes:

We have decided to name a limited quantity of bottles after Beppe. We only produce this wine in great vintages. We organise our harvest in Roncaglie in 6/7 consecutive stages, according to the ripeness and quality of the grapes. Our area offers an incredible range of soils, so in the same vineyard we have significant differences. Out of the cask that we consider to be the best, we produce a limited number of bottles.

Unlike the Riserva that can normally be purchased, we did not opt for a longer period in wood than our Barolo Bussia Dardi le Rose: the barrel is not essential to increase the ageing potential of a wine, instead, it often reduces its freshness and harmony. We have chosen to keep the wine longer in the bottle, until it is ready and balanced, bearing in mind what each vintage requires.

TASTING NOTES
Intense garnet red colour, wide and elegant bouquet gently
spiced with hints of dried flowers, sweet, spiced fruits and
incense. On the palate, an opulent structure supported by soft
tannins, with ripe fruit and liquorice. A traditional ‘majestic’
Nebbiolo with the power, harmony and complexity of a great
orchestra! Outstanding ageing potential.
SERVING TEMPERATURE
16/19° C.
CELLAR
Manual harvest, destemming, pressing, maceration with the skins
for 12-15 days at a maximum temperature of around 30 ºC, full
malolactic fermentation before winter. In spring, it is transferred to
oak barrels for a period of 24-28 months, then 42 months in bottles
