PODERI COLLA BARBARESCO 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 wines that can normally be purchased, we did not choose a longer period in wood than for our Barbaresco Roncaglie: the barrel is not essential to increase the ageing potential of a wine, but often reduces its freshness and harmony. Instead, we have chosen to keep the wine in the bottle longer, until it is ready and balanced, bearing in mind what each vintage requires.

TASTING NOTES
Intense garnet red, rich and complex aromas of blackberry,
caramel, cinnamon, lavender, dried dog rose and violet. A
‘classic’ Barbaresco with the elegance of a Roncaglie cru: rich,
mouth filling and intense. Personality and pleasure with a long
finish of velvety tannins and great ageing potential.
