Notes from the Winery/Importer

A blend of Nebbiolo and an unknown/unnamed indigenous variety whose vine age is at least 90 years old! Made without temperature control, it is stabilized by Piedmont’s cool autumn and cold winter, conserving its natural characteristics then bottled in the spring/summer as the temperature begins to rise and aged for a further 6 months. The nose is complex and fascinating with clear notes of roses, dried, black cherry, blackberries and raisins. In the mouth good tannin structure with notes of wild black cherry and plums.

Notes on the Producer

For more than 30 years the Buganza family has been producing and bottling organically grown wines from the Langhe and Roero, in the heart of Piedmont. Grown with a craftsman’s care and passion in the Gerbole and Garbianotto hills, Radici e Filari’s vineyards are as old as 90 years in age. All are worked manually and organically with biodynamic principles playing an increasing role. Minimal intervention in the cellar with the use of the simplest ingredients: grapes, sun, water and earth result in wines that are allowed to express their truest selves. “Our dream is a world… where the seasons, marked by the sowing and harvest, make us feel in harmony with nature, the earth and with people.” – Emanuele Buganza
