Barbaresco DOCG Nervo 2019 - Pertinace

From the ancient philosophy of life that indicated the pursuit of pleasure as the ultimate goal, Hedonis is born: a wine that manages to satisfy the pleasure of the senses by celebrating the richness of Nero d'Avola in purity and embodying the most genuine and authentic expression of viticultural wealth. vineyards B21 and B30 of Sambuca were selected to create Hedonis, with a west-east orientation that favors direct radiation from the first light of the morning, immediately after the coldest moment of the day, causing a sort of excursion temperature circumscribed directly on bunches and leaves.The rich and slightly clayey soils, the warm climate but with cool nights allow a perfect ripening of the grapes which are harvested around mid-September.A first part is subjected to fermentation and alcoholic maceration for about 15 -18 days with repeated pumping over to extract the color and the tannic component. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in new French and American oak barriques for 18-20 months. The second part of the grapes is instead subjected to drying in the cell with temperature and humidity control for about 40-45 days until the loss of about 40% in weight. After fermentation and alcoholic maceration of about 15 days, the wine obtained from the drying is stored in steel for 18-20 months. At the end of the maturation period, 50% of the wine matured in barriques is combined with 50% of wine obtained by drying, creating a distinctive, rich and elegant aromatic combination.
