Primanebbia

It is in the countryside that our Primanebbia finds its name that means ‘’The First Fog’’. In the Langhe region, most varieties of grape ripen in the late summer, between August and September, when the weather is hot and the sun is strong. Different from other varieties, Nebbiolo grapes continue ripening until autumn and become purple and sweet. They are gently caressed by the delicate white autumn fogs known as the “prime nebbie” as the season enter the autumn.

The Nebbiolo harvest usually starts during the second half of October, when the grapes have reached complete ripeness. The grapes are very sweet inside, and covered by the natural yeasts on the outside. As they survive through mid-October, the pulp becomes more ripen, and the seeds become darker, which is similar to the color of the wood.

The fermentation process of Primanebbia is somehow “milder” than the process used for the Barbarescos Riserva of Rocche Dei Barbari. Thus, this elegant and refined Langhe Nebbiolo enchants for the fragrance of its perfumes and the delicacy of its tannins.
