Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

A couple of hectares of vines at 750slm.
Harvest is in mid-October, and the grapes are dried in an appassimento method till December.
The wine gets 24 months of large oak.
Vineyard is southfacing and mainly composed of sand.
We find a glourious nose that says Nebbiolo(or Chiavannesca if you prefer); cherry, rose petals, tabacco, incense, a bit of tar, balsamic.
The sip is silky. The tannin is the first thing you are bound to feel..simply amazing, especially considering we deal with Nebbiolo.
Such a pleasure for your taste bud.
It was so hard not to drink the whole bottle the first night.
Absolutely hard to spot the appassimento in this wine, too elegant and not heavy at all.
