The estate has farmed these rows for generations and historically sold fruit from them to other celebrated Barbaresco houses before bottling the vineyard under its own label. Riserva status calls for longer ageing than standard Barbaresco, at least four years from harvest with a substantial spell in cask, so these wines reach the market well after their peers. Nebbiolo is the sole grape, fermented on skins and matured in large oak before an extended rest in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecant an hour or two ahead and serve at about 18C with braised or roasted red meat, game birds and well-aged hard cheese; it is built for the cellar and repays patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
