Renesio Roero DOCG Riserva 2019 - Malvirà x 6

Why the winemaker recommends Malvirà Renesio Roero Riserva DOCG 2019

Malvirá, in Canale, is an absolute reference for the DOCG Roero. Cru coming from the vineyard most exposed to sunlight. According to what we were told, the grapes coming from this Cru are the most sensitive to climate changes, thus leading to large differences between the various vintages. One of the flagship wines is this Renesio, Nebbiolo from vineyards with an average age of 40 years, managed organically. 30 months of aging in large barrels and tonneaux. Wood passage that makes itself felt, giving the product intense hints of bark, lively and sharp tannins. In my opinion, this last characteristic makes it a wine that must necessarily be sipped with succulent dishes.

Characteristics of the Renesio di Malvirà red wine

Renesio Riserva coming from the historic Canalese vineyard, origin and heart of the Roero. Nebbiolo aged in wood for 24 months + 12 in the bottle, 2011 harvest, opened in 2022. Classic garnet red, after decantation, on the nose it releases intense aromas of red fruit compote, black cherry, dried violet, tobacco. In the mouth the sip is full and satisfying, balanced in all its components, with tannin still present but tamed. Long finish that recalls the fruit, a vintage at its most ripe.

Recommended pairings for this Roero Riserva DOCG Piemonte red wine

For this Nebbiolo I recommend pairing it with braised meats; cured meats and cheeses.

Uncork and decant one hour before serving the Nebbiolo Renesio at a temperature of 18 - 20°C in a large balloon glass.
