Grown entirely from Nebbiolo vines cultivated across Roero DOCG’s distinct sandy coastal terraces, this 2020 Printi Riserva captures the vintage’s sun-drenched ripeness balanced by the region’s hallmark bright acidity. Extended maturation in large neutral wooden casks—mandated under Riserva regulations—temper youthful tannins and develop a multi-dimensional nose of crystallized red cherry, dried violet, forest leaf, and faint mineral dust. The palate follows with a structured yet refined architecture, leaving a long residue of rose petal, crushed stone, and subtle spice that distinguishes Roero from the heavier extract often found in neighboring Barolo.
- Serve at 60–63°F; decant for one hour to release secondary aromas
- Match with slow-braised Langhe beef, tartufo al bianco preparations, wild boar ragù, aged Castelmagno or Pecorino di Filiano, or creamy risotto prepared with porcini mushrooms
- Archive vertically in a temperature-stable environment away from UV exposure; enjoy between three and seven years post-release, though proper cellar conditions reward later drinking
This Riserva targets enthusiasts who trace regional typicity over international styling. Inspect the capsule for seal integrity upon arrival, and expect modest natural沉淀 that filters cleanly through a standard mesh strainer.
