{"product_id":"sottimano-reserve-barbaresco-italie","title":"Sottimano - Reserve Barbaresco - 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Barbaresco Reserve from the Sottimano estate comes from the hills of Piedmont, in northwestern Italy, in the heart of the Barbaresco appellation. The vines are located on the slopes of the municipality of Neive and its immediate surroundings, benefiting from varied exposures and marl-limestone soils rich in clay and sand. This Langhe terroir, both cool and well-ventilated, promotes slow ripening of the grapes and allows the wines to express with precision the aromatic finesse and structure typical of Nebbiolo.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the Sottimano estate, the Nebbiolo grapes destined for Barbaresco are hand-harvested at full maturity, then destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, without strict temperature control, using long macerations and gentle pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in French oak barrels, where the wine is then aged for an extended period, primarily in previously used barrels, to preserve the expression of the terroir, before bottling without extensive filtration after a period of rest in tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches of violet and dried rose. \u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of licorice and pepper mingle with subtle oak, with \u003cstrong\u003esmoky\u003c\/strong\u003e and slightly \u003cstrong\u003ebalsamic\u003c\/strong\u003e accents.
