E'toile Du Raisin Stefano Bellotti Vino Rosso 2007

Region: 
Grape Variety: 
85% Barbera, 10% Dolcetto, 5% Ancellotta
Tasting Note: 
A profound, complex nose, with notes of blueberry jam and plums... Palate: this is velvety juice, intense, with beautiful body balanced by its acidity, and a long finish. "Its great richness fills our sensory world entirely, while remaining fluid and easy to drink. 85% Barbera, 10% Dolcetto and 5% Ancellotta, 25-year-old vines grown on clay soils. Vinification: 2 months of maceration, matured in vats and casks for 4 years. No sulphites added. In Stefano’s words: "L'Etoile is a concentration of the vibrations of the world, captured by plants to constitute their being. Thanks to the long maturation process during its creation, it manages to embody in a particularly elegant way this game of contrasts between the world of growth – of the liquid and continuous – and that of construction – of the solid."
