On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied and structured, supported by well-integrated \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensure excellent ageing potential. The aromatic profile weaves together notes of cherry, ripe plum and violet with sweet spices and clear mineral hints. Produced following organic farming practices, this wine is also suitable for a \u003cstrong\u003evegan choice\u003c\/strong\u003e, standing out for its harmony and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates from the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eStarderi cru\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the municipality of Neive at around two hundred and thirty metres above sea level. The vines benefit from a south-west exposure and sink their roots into soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003ebluish calcareous marl\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight percentages of clay. This particular soil composition imparts a deep \u003cstrong\u003emineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e to the wine, giving balance and depth to the taste. The advanced age of the vines encourages great expressive concentration, defining the typical structure of this prestigious Barbaresco area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter careful harvesting, vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e in rotofermenters for about eight days, essential for extracting and preserving the primary aromas. The subsequent malolactic fermentation takes place in wood, followed by almost two years of ageing in \u003cstrong\u003enew French barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e with medium toasting. A brief period in steel precedes the long \u003cstrong\u003efinal maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e, a crucial step to blend every single organoleptic component and deliver a sip with an enveloping and lasting profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst created in 1996 in the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eStarderi cru\u003c\/strong\u003e, this masterful Barbaresco DOCG expresses the most authentic soul of Piedmont according to the vision of the Rivetti brothers.
