- Savoury with red fruit and earthy notes, traditionally styled and gamey Barolo, through to a super-dry finish.A stylish and traditionally styled Barolo with expressive aromas of dried fruit, roses, and tar. The deep fruits are layered with earthy minerality on the smooth, mouth-filling palate, and sweet tannins weave through to a long, elegant finish.
Following crushing and destemming, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 28 to 30°C. Maceration on the skins lasted for 12 days, with daily pumpovers. Natural malolactic conversion took place during the spring following the harvest. The wine was then aged for three years, two spent in large Slavonian oak casks and one year in a tank, followed by six months in a bottle before release.

| Winery | The name Nebbiolo comes from one of two schools of thought: some believe that the harvest of Nebbiolo usually occurs in October when foggy weather is common; it takes the name from nebbia, meaning fog; however, others believe the name is derived from the presence of pruina, a substance which gives the appearance of a foggy haze on the berry skin. The Nebbiolo vines are grown in the northern Italian region of Piedmont, where the climate is continental and is tempered by the Tanaro River and its tributaries. Grown in marl clay and sand soils, the late-ripening variety is usually harvested in early October. Established in 1871, San Silvestro has produced DOC and DOCG wines from its estate winery in the Commune of Novello in Piedmont. The traditional varieties are mostly grown in the Langhe and from vineyards in the Roero and the Monferrato regions. Founded by Giovanni Sartirano, San Silvestro has been passed down through four generations, and today, it is run by cousins Paolo and Guido Sartirano. Following the family traditions and ethos, they hold the Equalitas certification for their sustainably cultivated vineyards and produce modern wines that express the Piedmont region's traditional varieties and distinctive terroir. Over the years, San Silvestro has gradually expanded beyond the local market, and their award-winning wines are internationally recognised. |
