Virna Barolo Preda Sarmassa D.O.C.G.
Crushing and de-stemming, maceration on the skins for approx. 12-15 days at a maximum temperature of 29-31°C. After drawing off and the first rackings, the wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks and small 500-litre barrels made of new French oak (Allier) for around 2 years. It completes its maturation in stainless steel, prior to bottling without filtration; the bottles are then stored lying down for at least 6 months before labelling and shipping.

Description
Very deep ruby-red; still rather fresh nose, with hints of red berries steeped in delicate vanilla; dry, full taste, packed with body and structure combined with polyphenolic compounds that cater for lengthy ageing.
This is a fine, on the whole still “young” wine showing great potential. It will be at its best after 3-4 years stored lying down in cool, dark surroundings. Serving recommended in large glasses at a temperature of 17-18°C.
