6 BOTTLES X 75cl. 

The grapes: 100% - Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo)

The vineyard: the grapes are grown in vineyards in some of the best crus in the Inferno subzone – Carlo Negri, Sopragironi, Sottogironi located in the municipalities of Poggiridenti – trained in the arched variant of the Guyot system (3500 vines/hectare) on terraces exposed to the south with loose sandy soils, at an altitude of 400-450 metres. The yield is 60 quintals/hectare.

Vinification and ageing: the grapes bunches, harvested by hand at the end of October, were vinified on the skins in special temperature-controlled vats and maceration lasted 8 days. After a period in steel vats, the wine was transferred into oak barrels for 24 months, and then bottled.

The wine: Inferno Carlo Negri has a ruby red colour; a distinct and composite aroma with dominant notes of bitter spices (cloves and cinnamon) and dried flowers (roses and violets); a smooth, mellow flavour with a great personality. This wine will unquestionably improve with time to become harmonious and elegant.
