Barolo DOCG Zinzasco 2017 - 75cl

The grapes from the vines of La Morra and Verduno contribute in equal part to the creation of this velvety Barolo Zinzasco with an incredible personality. The breadth of its notes touches spicy, fruity and floral, strong flavors of strawberry, cherry, licorice and aromatic herbs. The mouth is soft, harmonious and elegant, the tannins are soft.After harvesting at the end of October, the Zinzasco is fermented and macerated in steel at controlled temperature for 25 days. The aging foresees 6 months in tonneaux, and then another 18 months in French oak, but more extensive. Further steel follows and, finally, in the bottle. Zinzasco is the wine for structured dishes, from truffle risotto to braised and boiled meats, from mountain cheeses to fattest fish.

Monvigliero state of mind. A velvety hill that unites the heart of Verduno with Alba, the capital of the Langhe. An amphitheater with slight slopes and a solid ground of marl and sandstone that gives full voice to the prince of the hill: Nebbiolo.In the harmony of this territory, Diego grows grapes with daily passion. The story of the Morra winery is a story that involves three generations, which began in the mid-twentieth century from a small patch of land and which today has 30 hectares of vineyards distributed between Verduno, La Morra and Roddi. A constantly evolving story, where the balance between man and nature is constantly renewed. Today at the helm is Diego, the heir who has firmly embarked on the route towards environmental sustainability: each grape variety is placed within the most suitable terroir, leading it to full self-expression. For Diego Morra, recognizing and enhancing the peculiarities of the vineyards in which he works is crucial. Most of the vineyards are cultivated with Nebbiolo, but there is a significant presence of all the typical varieties of the area, such as Dolcetto, Barbera and Pelaverga.
