Domenico 2004 Nebbiolo

Winemaker Tasting & Pairing Notes:
Medium-bodied with aromas and flavors of oak, black fruits, dried herbs, tobacco, leather and strawberry. Tannic and acid, this wine pairs well with the heartiest of stews and ragouts, chicken cacciatore and aged hard cheeses. Italy’s most noble red grape from Piedmonte.

Winemaking Notes:
Whole berry fermented in small open fermenters. 10-12 days maceration with 2-3 hand punchdowns per day. Aged in French and American oak for 11 months.
