Barolo Riserva Gomba DOCG

Colour: ruby red with garnet reflections in evolution with ageing.

Bouquet: ethereal, intense, floral and fruity with hints of rose and blackberry to which are added, with the evolution, spicy notes.
Taste: structured, elegant, reminiscent of the olfactory sensations and with a spicy mineral aftertaste. Tannins still crisp prelude to a slow evolution and extreme longevity.

Location: Barolo (Cuneo). This is the vineyard, the only one, that Sergio Gomba found in the company at the time of purchase in the summer of 1991. Estimated age: 70 years. Position: 300 m. a.s.l. facing south-west.
Soil: clayey with marl and limestone of the "Tortoniana" era, which traditionally gives rise to wines recognizable for their finesse, the elegance of their perfumes and their softness (however soft a Barolo may be).

The vine
Grape variety: 100% Nebbiolo, estimated age of about 70 years. Manual harvesting with rigorous selection of the bunches.
Pruning: Guyot. Density: 4,400 vines per hectare.

The Wine
Vinification: soft pressing with destemming; fermentation at controlled temperature with maceration of 20-25 days with submerged cap. Slow maturation in Slavonian oak barrels and then in stainless steel. This is followed by a long aging in the bottle. 62 months after harvesting, it is ready for sale.

Food pairing: large meats, roasts, game, dishes with truffles, mature hard cheeses.

Note at the moment is the only Barolo Riserva with additional geographical mention "Boschetti".
