Winery: Château de Conlais Grape variety: Nebbiolo Appellation: Piedmont Packing: 750ml/6 Grade: DOC Alcohol content: 13.5% Vol Vinification process: After picking, de-stemmed and crushed, maceration with skins at 28-30°C for 10-12 days; malolactic fermentation completed before winter, then aged in Slavonic oak barrels for about 12 months, bottled without filtration. Taste profile: Ruby red color, complex and intense nose with aromas of plums, cranberries, dried rose petals and violets; the flavors are direct and very powerful in the mouth, with impressive prominent tannins; well-balanced structure, with a long fruity and spicy finish, which is enhanced by several years of bottle ageing. Pairs well with almost any meal, most often with pasta with meat sauce and meat-based entrees. Wine Pairing: This wine can be enjoyed throughout the meal and is even better with spaghetti bolognese or meat-based dishes. 89 points from Wine Spectator. Robert Parker 90 points;.
