The Bric Valdiana is produced from a selected harvesting on the calcareous rich southward facing slopes of the Valdiana. Domenico ages this intensely rich fruit for eighteen months in Slavonian oak - botte grande. The result is layered, complex truffle and black raspberry scented Nebbiolo.
About this wine producer: The Almondo family has cultivated vineyards and orchards in Roero for hundreds of years, but Domenico and his father, Giovanni, were the first to estate bottle their production in the early 1980’s (their first vintage in 1981 totaled 1500 bottles). Since then, the estate has acquired some of the most expressive parcels of vineyard land around the tiny town of Montà d’Alba - nearly fifteen combined hectares of Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Brachetto. Along with his sons Federico and Stefano, Domenico’s meticulous vineyard work and sensitive approach in the cellar make it no surprise that the Almondo family is considered the single best producer in Roero.
