Printi Roero Riserva DOCG Monchiero Carbone
Couldn't load pickup availability
Monchiero Carbone have been making Roero “Printi” since 1997, which is remembered as one of the most interesting vintage of the decade. This selection produces a wine that could measure itself against the more structured Piedmontese reds, and deal confidently with decidedly long periods of aging without surrendering the elegance that is typical of the Nebbiolo grapes originating on the steep slopes of the Roero.
Grape variety: Nebbiolo 100%
Production area: Roero, municipality of Canale
Orientation: West Altitude: 250 meters
Yield per hectare: 50 quintals
Vineyard surface: 3 hectares
Alcohol content: 13,5-14,0%
Acidity: 5,0-5,5 g/l
Colour: a rubyred hue, giving greater intensity without taking away any of its brightness.
Taste: great character showing through dense tannins and a magnificent alcohol/ tannin balance; after a fullbodied, almost chewy entry, the silky soft tannins gradually spread out into a long, round finish.
Nose: intense and very deep, with unmistakeable aromatic facets; an initially ethereal impact gives way to hints of raspberry and blackberry, which are rendered more complex by a background of sweet spices (cocoa and cinnamon) and noble wood.
Food pairings: greater structure and body demand richer, tastier dishes, such as casseroles, braised beef in red wine, roast goose or wild boar stew. Ideal also with aged cheese like Parmigiano Reggiano or Castelmagno.
