DESCRIPTION OF THE ROERO RISERVA PRINTI

The Roero Riserva "Printi" from the Piedmontese winery of Monchiero Carbone is a pure, intense and elegant Nebbiolo, born in the hilly area of ​​the Roero, on the left bank of the Tanaro river, right in front of the Langhe. In this land, Nebbiolo expresses itself with a profile of refined finesse, with less powerful and tannic reds than the Barolo area. The long period of aging, first in wood and then in the bottle, allows the wine to reach a pleasant expressive harmony and a great balance between the delicate floral and fruity notes, typical of the grape and the multifaceted tertiary aromas.

The Roero Riserva "Printi" is one of the most interesting labels in the Roero area. The Monchiero family is a historical name of the area. He has been involved in viticulture since the early 1900s and today he manages an estate of about thirty hectares, with some parcels in important crus such as: Renesio, Mombirone and Tanon. It has always oriented production towards an enhancement of the local vines, proposing high quality labels, which have established themselves among the best excellences of the Piedmontese wine scene. The Monchiero Carbone winery was also among the first to believe in the need to highlight the peculiarities of the individual areas of the Roero, offering wines capable of expressing the particularities of the various crus in a frank and authentic way.
Monchiero Carbone's Roero Riserva "Printi" is the fruit of the best bunches of vines grown on the Failin hill, at about 350 meters above sea level, on fine limestone soils. The sunny west exposure allows the grapes to fully ripen with particularly rich and intense aromas. At the end of the classic red vinification, the wine ages for 24 months in small oak barrels and another 24 months in the bottle. In the glass it has a brilliant ruby ​​red color with light garnet reflections. The nose opens on slight floral hints, aromas of small red berries, hints of soft spices and delicately woody hints. On the palate it has a good structure, with a fine and evolved tannic texture and a good complexity of aromas. The finish is very persistent, with a pleasant savory finish.
