Production Details The must undergoes pre-fermentation oxidation. Fermentation occurs exclusively in wooden vats with an indigenous-yeast pied de cuve and lasts approximately ten days. Nebbiolo is vinified without skin contact. The wine matures in neutral-oak cask for approximately two years before bottling; Roagna's white-wine method also specifies maturation on the wine's own lees without racking. Armit describes 2019 as cooler than 2018, with useful day-night temperature variation, and reports early picking to retain freshness and tension.
Tasting Notes Armit: rich, buttery nose with hazelnut and pistachio; generous yet fresh palate with texture and length. Antonio Galloni, January 2022: bright, taut and unusually closed, with almond, dried flowers, mint and lemon confit.
