Bruno Giacometto Canavese Nebbiolo 2015 750ml

Certified Organic. 100% Nebbiolo. The land where these Nebbiolo vines are cultivated features morainic soils from the Quaternary Period. These soils are typical of a subalpine zone known as the Canavese, which is centered on the town of Caluso. They are rich in mineral salts and yield remarkable acidity and sapidity in the wines of the zone. The harvested bunches are placed in ventilated crates and then destemmed prior to fermentation in stainlesssteel tanks at controlled temperatures never exceeding 77°F. After approximately two months in contact with the skins and following the completion of spontaneous primary fermentation, the grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic tank. The wine is subsequently racked into a single Gamba botte for one year; thereafter, it ages for an additional four or more years in stainless steel before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
