San Cristoforo Barbaresco DOCG 2016 - Elio Filippino
The San Cristoforo Barbaresco DOCG from Elio Filippino shimmers in a strong garnet red with orange highlights in the glass.
This pure red wine reveals expressive aromas of ripe raspberries and juicy grapes - accompanied by fine hints of dark chocolate and liquorice. On the palate, this Italian wine presents itself with an impressive elegance, supported by a powerful body. The tannins are perfectly integrated and accompany the long lasting finish.
Vinification of Elio Filippino San Cristoforo Barbaresco
The Nebbiolo grapes are carefully harvested by hand. The grapes are then carefully selected and crushed in Elio Filippino's cellar. The resulting mash is fermented in large wooden barrels at a controlled temperature. This wine then matures for a total of 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
