Today we find ourselves in the heart of the Langhe region of Piedmont, and more precisely in Diano d'Alba. Known as the ‘Paese dei Sörì’ (the land of the Sörì), a dialect term that indicates the vineyards with the best exposure to the sun, Diano d'Alba boasts 77 areas suitable for viticulture, guaranteeing superior quality wines. The Tenute Stefano Farina's Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC is produced in this privileged area. The grapes used for this wine come from vineyards located at about 600 metres above sea level, on clayey soils that give structure and minerality to the final product. The harvest takes place between the second and third ten days of October, when the grapes reach optimal ripeness. At the end of the vinification process, the wine matures for about 6 months in steel tanks, followed by a brief period of about 6 months in Slavonian oak barrels. Finally, it is aged in the bottle before being released on the market. Bright red in colour, with garnet reflections as it ages, the bouquet is subtle and delicate, with notes reminiscent of violets. In the mouth the flavour is slightly tannic. Fine and elegant, it offers a velvety and well-balanced sensation. This Nebbiolo goes well with a meat-based menu, roasts, braised meats and game. Its structure and finesse also make it ideal in combination with mature cheeses and typical dishes of Piedmontese cuisine.
