Poderi Colla Dolcetto-Nebbiolo
Tasting notesVery intense, deep ruby red, with the purple reflections typical of young Dolcetto; the bouquet surprises with exceptional elegance and ideal interplay of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto (the former’s finesse, the latter’s volume): a chorus where Nebbiolo gives the peak performance and Dolcetto the background. Spicy and/or vinous notes characteristic of the two varieties, mellowed by aging. Very rich but non-aggressive, an all-around food wine for special occasions and complex, structured dishes. Blends famously include some of the world’s most prestigious wines: our Bricco may well be the most historic and authentically Italian interpretation. Serve at 17/19deg C., in an ample glass. Wine maker notesThe two varieties are vinified separately, as maturation takes place at different times: the two wines are assembled and then undergo elevage in oak. Maceration is approximately 5/8 days for Dolcetto and about 10/12 days for Nebbiolo, at a maximum temperature of respectively 25deg C. and 30deg C. The sojourn in oak barrels Slavonian and French, partly renewed each year lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on vintage. The wine is successively racked into stainless steel, clarified with fresh, whipped egg white, decanted and bottled without filtering. Alcohol: 12.5-13 % by vol. Total acidity: 5-5.5 grams per liter of tartaric acid Dry extract: 27-29 grams per liter – Poderi Colla Langhe Dolcetto-nebbiolo Bricco Del Drago 2005 750ml – Langhe
