Barbaresco Vanotu

Vanotu is the Piedmontese nickname for Giovanni, the owner of the vineyard thus called. The vineyard is located
at about 350 m of altitude, looks south and extends over three Barbaresco districts: Barbaresco, Treiso and
a small part in Neive. Thanks to the climate and the composition of the soil, which is predominantly calcareous, the wine obtained from this vineyard is particularly good, with great personality, even in poor vintages. Updated
and innovative techniques, such as temperature control and automatically programmed soaking of the wine dregs are at the base of a winemaking process and tend to exalt the variety’s characteristics.
It ages in barriques (80% of them are new) for eighteen months and in bottles for nine months. By saving and enhancing the best features of the Nebbiolo variety, to create an innovative wine with good fruit concentration and complex, sweet tannins. It has an intense ruby red colour and fruity notes of raspberries and cherries, harmoniously combined with soft wooden sensations like that of vanilla. Velvety, ample and embracing with persistent but sweet tannins on the mouth. The polyphenolic structure of Nebbiolo and the amount of tannic acid guarantee long ageing.
