Nebbiolo grapes from various vineyards, on the hills of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, in Alba and in Guarene, specifically from Cortine vineyard. The soil in Barbaresco is more fertile, with higher concentrations of limestone and sand. This results in wines that are lighter, softer, and more approachable. Aiman, meaning “gentle man” to indicate the softness of this wine.
Harvest in early October. Crushing of the grapes, fermentation and maceration in stainless steel. The wine evolves for 6 to 8 months in large vats, followed by several months in the bottle, stored horizontally in underground cellars.
Ruby red color, with garnet nuances. Expansive and fragrant, fairly complex with raspberry, wild strawberry and damson jam notes, joined by geranium and spicy hints of cloves. On the palate, this wine is round and full-bodied, with delicate tannins. Best matched with starters with good structure, and not overly rich mains.
