Description
A vineyard which needs no introduction, Luigi Giordano’s prime time plot sits in one block 265m asl terraced next to Angelo Gaja in total southeastern exposure. The ancient Tortonian limestone & sedimentary soils give exceptional complexity an expression to the Nebbiolo here. A nose is a complex, wildflowers, strawberry, cherry stones, tomato, tobacco & flint smoke.
Matteo ferments his Asili cru slightly cooler than the others to retain purity and finesse; this is followed by a 25-day maceration and 24 months in botti grande. The palate is tightly sprung, full of tangy mineral energy, and there is a richness of fruit and peppery power to the palate, which only the greatest Nebbiolo sites can achieve. The finish is firm and framed with china-fine tannins.
