Sobrero Francesco epitomises refined elegance from the Piedmont region.
Barolo DOCG Riserva ‘Pernanno’ Vecchie Viti is a remarkable single vineyard wine from Sobrero Francesco’s cru vineyard, Pernanno. It's crafted from 77-year-old vines, adding an enchanting touch to this distinguished drop. It’s a brilliant ruby shade, unveiling a wild red fruit bouquet, complemented by subtle hints of leather, cocoa, and dried mushrooms. On the palate, it exudes fullness and structure, accompanied by earthy undertones and a refreshing, lingering finish.
The Pernanno vineyard is located in Castiglione Falletto at 350 metres altitude, with southeast exposure, on sandy-rocky, calcareous soil. The grapes were hand harvested from old vines. Once at the winery, the grapes were fermented and macerated in temperature controlled wooden vats for 50 days. Malolactic fermentation in cement tanks took place followed by at least 36 months of aging in 25 hl oak barrels. The wine was bottled without filtration.
