NEBBIOLO D’ALBA D.O.C. CAPLAVUR
About
FIRST VINTAGE: 1996
It is the historic Nebbiolo of the company. This wine, along with Arneis and Barbera, were the first labels to see the light in the company. The Nebbiolo, renamed CAPLAVUR (masterpiece) since 2010, now ages for 24 months in large barrels. It undergoes a gentle aging process that allows the primary aromas of Nebbiolo to be perceived while simultaneously softening and mellowing the tannins.
