The vineyards are perfectly situated, on the southwest side at an altitude of 280 meters. The vines have been planted here since 1975 and they truly produce a bountiful harvest. The Nebbiolo grapes are somewhat reminiscent of Barolo, but shhh, don't tell anyone. When the harvest is ripe, it is harvested in the morning. Upon arrival at Cornarea, all the Nebbiolo d'Alba grapes are inspected. Any bad grapes are removed, and after pressing, this red wine is aged in oak for a full twelve months. It fully develops and gains considerable power.
The color of this Cornarea wine is ruby red with a garnet sheen. The aroma is complex, with aromas of roses and violets, and spicy notes interspersed with dried fruit. The flavor of Cornarea Nebbiolo d'Alba is warm with elegant, lingering notes of forest fruit jam, black cherry, vanilla, and oak. The ideal serving temperature is 18-20ºC.
