Description
Barolo Cannubi from the
Brezza winery is produced in one of the most suitable areas for growing Nebbiolo grapes for the production of the eponymous wine. The area is characterized by the fusion of two particularly important geological formations: the
Marne di Sant’Agata Fossili and the
Arenarie di Diano. The former are composed of a clayey mixture with a strong limestone component. The latter, however, are gray sandstones with a good sandy component. Having land in this highly prized area is an advantage for the winery, which has succeeded in bringing prestige to its wines. The
Barolo Cannubi DOCG is a true winemaking gem and represents the highest expression of this wine, known and appreciated throughout the world. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 250 meters with a good southeast exposure. The grape variety used is
100% Nebbiolo of the
Lampia and
Michet varieties. The training system is espalier and the pruning is
Guyot. The
harvest takes place in October with the grapes being picked by hand into crates. The integrity of the berries is essential for the success of the
vinification. In the cellar, a further
selection of the bunches is carried out before
destemming and pressing. The
alcoholic fermentation lasts 7-8 days at a strictly controlled temperature. The
maceration on the skins takes place with a submerged cap with continuous pumping over to extract tannin, color, and aromas. Following
racking, the wine is prepared for
malolactic fermentation until spring. The wine is then placed in Slavonian oak barrels for a minimum of two years of wood maturation. Once the wine is deemed ready, it is bottled and further aged in glass.
