Barolo DOCG Cannubi, a prized creation from the historic Giacomo Brezza winery in the Langhe, presents itself as a red wine of refined elegance and enveloping body. The vineyards intended for the cultivation of Nebbiolo are located in the famous Cannubi cru. This area offers optimal conditions for Nebbiolo, with a soil substrate composed of gray sandstone which gives minerality to the grapes.
After a careful manual harvest in October, the bunches are taken to the cellar and delicately pressed. Fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts, proceeding spontaneously for approximately seven days. The subsequent maceration lasts for two weeks without filtration or clarification. The wine ages for at least two years in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a further year of refinement in the bottle, strictly numbered to identify a limited production of excellence.
The wine has an intense garnet red color. The olfactory bouquet opens on a complex symphony of aromas, where spices blend harmoniously with notes of tobacco. On the palate, this wine is dense and enveloping. The lively freshness combines with important tannins, creating a flavor texture that expresses the essence of its origin. Each sip is a journey through layers of taste that develop and evolve, giving a pleasant persistence.
Pairs beautifully with croast or grilled meat, approxStewed red meat, game
