Costa di Bussia - Luigi Arnulfo | Barolo DOCG
Red wine | Italy, PIEMONTE | 2016
Once the wine has evolved, one distinguishes a color with orange-like nuances that are typical of nebbiolo. It is a structured wine with a fair amount of elegant tannins that are soft at a young age, but guarantee a long storage. A great Italian wine with a lot of terroir that develops its complexity after a few years of bottle aging. Aromas of black currant, strawberry, violets, mint and truffle can be found. If you drink the wine before it is 10 years old, it must absolutely be decanted.

Vinification
Only the very best grapes are used for this cuvee and a later harvest is used (10 days after reaching optimum ripeness). The grapes macerate for 12 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28° C. The wine then ripens for 30 months in large Slavonic oak barrels (foudres or Botte) and then in the bottle.
