Why the winemaker recommends Barbaresco Reyna
A great traditional Barbaresco. A Nebbiolo of great finesse, production of this wine is quite limited, considering that only in the municipalities of Neive, Treiso, and Barbaresco is it possible to plant Nebbiolo vineyards. Vinified separately, parcel by parcel, quality and development are monitored with frequent tastings before blending.
Nebbiolo Wine Characteristics
Blood-red ruby color, with orange highlights. The nose is at its best. Wild strawberries and other red fruits preserved in alcohol, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, bay leaves, milk chocolate, and hints of orange. Barbaresco DOCG Reyna 2014 doesn't quite keep pace with the nose on the palate; the aftertaste is less intense and complex. However, on the palate, it has fairly smooth yet perceptible and astringent tannins, with a still bold freshness. Persistent on the palate.
Guidelines for service and food pairings
Perfect with game, red meats, vegetable-based pasta dishes with lamb, pig's trotter in cabbage stew, beef chops (better if spicy), donkey stew, and pairs well with Neapolitan casatiello.
Uncork and decant one hour before serving at 16-18°C in a large balloon glass.
