Climate: The sun that warms the hilly soils during the year, alternating with precipitations that quench the fibres, creates a context of great variability that makes every grape harvest so very different from the others
Terroir: Nebbiolo is the most noble Italian grape variety, and it is one of the most fastidious in terms of soil, climate and environmental conditions. This Langhe Nebbiolo originates from estate nebbiolo vineyards located in Serralunga d'Alba, facing east, south-east on soil of Miocene- Helvetian origin in a high and mid-hillside position (300-450 m a.s.l.), which are very rich in clay and calcareous marl
Ageing: It is made in a traditional way, with a 12-15 days floating cap fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine then stays on the skins for a further 15-20 days, with a "submerged head" maceration to optimize the extraction of the polyphenolic substances. Mirafiore Langhe Nebbiolo ages in big and medium size oak barrels (20-140 hl) for 12 months and then in the bottle for at least further six months. It usually reaches its peak 4-6 years after the harvest, but this period can vary considerably depending on the vintage.
Color: Garnet-red with ruby shades
Nose: Elegant nose that shows nutmeg, tobacco, dried leaves, plum and tamarind with traces of withered flowers such as rose
Palate: Its sweet and fascinating tannic taste makes the wine velvety and well-balanced, and lingers on the tongue with a very long balsamic aftertaste
