Summary:
Terroir:
The Ca Bianca Barolo is sourced from Nebbiolo from low-yielding vines planted at high density. The vineyards are situated on a east/southeast facing slope at 950 feet in elevation with primary soils of composite and clay.
Vinification:
Grapes are sorted and macerated at cool temperatures prior to vinification in stainless steel. Following fermentation the young wines are aged in a combination of large Slovenian oak cask and new and used French barrels for a period of 20 months.
Additional Information:
Garnet color tending towards strong blue; intense and ethereal bouquet of vanilla, cloves and clean woodland undergrowth; full, firm but velvety flavor with a fine, very lingering aftertaste of liquorice and ripe red fruits.
