{"product_id":"fontanabianca-barbaresco-serra","title":"Fontanabianca 'Serraboella' Barbaresco, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom one of Neive's prized vineyard sites, 2021 Fontanabianca Barbaresco Serraboella brings Nebbiolo's perfume and structure into an elegant, finely polished frame. The Serraboella vineyard's clay-limestone soils and elevated position give the wine a compelling balance of aromatic lift, mineral tension and firm structure. Red and black cherry meet violets, dried rose, savory herbs, spice and tobacco, while bright acidity and velvety tannins carry the wine through a persistent, earthy finish. It is a poised Barbaresco with enough immediate fragrance to enjoy now and the structure to reward further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aldo Pola and Matteo Pola\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serraboella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 30 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElevation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 300 meters above sea level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay and limestone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guyot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 15 months in large barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium ruby in color, with an elegant aromatic profile of black cherry, raspberry, and red berries layered with violets, dried rose petals, and crushed herbs.
