Winery
Abbona family produces high quality wines, continuing, year after year, the work started by the Marquises of Barolo more than two centuries ago
There is a thread which binds people, vineyards, cellars and bottles: the knowledge and the passion of producing wines which respect the unique characteristics of this marvelous territory with a very high wine vocation.
Anna and Ernesto Abbona, together with their children Valentina and Davide, are the faithful interpreters of the diversity of places, vineyards and vines.
They rigorously respect and preserve their typicality by vinifying grapes coming from their vineyards and from contributing winemakers selected in many years of activity, favoring the location and the cultivation capacity of each single vineyard.
Description
Grapes destined to the production of this wine come from vineyards located on hills with good slope, characterized by calcareous clayey soils, of medium consistency, covered by quartz sands and fine silt, capable of providing an abundance of trace elements and to ensure a wide and immediate expression of the bouquet.
Organoleptic characteristics:
The color is garnet red, with ruby red reflections.
The bouquet is intense, persistent, with clean scents of fruit, rose hips and spices.
The taste is full bodied, but, at the same time, harmonic and balanced, with sweet tannins, never too much in evidence.
Storage time:
over 7 years
Vinification
Gentle pressing and destemming; fermentation, at controlled temperature, in thermo-conditioned tanks.
