Piazzo Comm. Armando “Vigna Giaia” Barberesco Nervo DOCG Riserva 2016 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Piazzo Comm. Armando Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Nervo Vigna Giaia, offered here by Piazzo Comm. Armando, comes from a vocated cru of Barbaresco, Vigna Giaia, and a careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes. A label of great complexity and longevity. Vigna Giaia is located in the commune of Treiso, an area with good southern exposure that guarantees perfect ripening of the grapes, developing intense and complex aromas. The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for about 30 days. This is followed by ageing for at least 9 months in small oak barrels and a further resting period in the bottle in the cellar. What is obtained is a red wine with great personality, characterised by a beautiful intense garnet colour with orange reflections. The nose opens with a broad and enveloping bouquet, with hints of dried fruit, raspberry, jam, plums, floral notes of dried violets and geranium, sweet spices such as cinnamon, vanilla and tobacco. In the mouth, the wine is warm and intense. Tannic, with great structure and persistence. A long and persistent finish that leaves an indelible memory. Structure and complexity make it ideal to accompany structured main courses of red meat and game. It should also be tried with medium and long matured cheeses or with white Alba truffles. A wine that has won numerous international awards, this Barbaresco DOCG Riserva is a red of great longevity that can be kept for over 20 years.
