✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious Barolo DOCG, the 2004 Podere del Pesco captures the essence of a benchmark Piedmontese vintage. The name 'Podere del Pesco' evokes the historic agricultural landscape of the Langhe, where peach orchards historically shared the sun-drenched hillsides with Nebbiolo vines. The 2004 growing season is celebrated by Piedmont purists as a classic, slow-ripening year. A mild summer followed by a glorious, dry autumn allowed the Nebbiolo grapes to develop complex phenolic maturity while preserving vibrant acidity. Crafted under strict DOCG regulations, this expression underwent extended maceration and traditional oak aging, transforming the grape's formidable tannins into a structured, elegant masterpiece redolent of dried roses, tar, and dark cherries.
