Product Description:
"The winery’s flagship wine, Papà Celso is dedicated to the memory of Celso Abbona, father of Marziano, who planted every vine in the Doriolo vineyard. The wine is exclusively produced with grapes from this vineyard. It is our most important Dogliani, made from grapes grown on vines over 60 years old that give the wine a pleasant balance between elegance, power, and harmony.
Rich and well-structured with aromas of red and black fruits, this is a balanced and harmonious wine on the palate. The light acidity and subtle tannins have hints of pulpy fruit. Can develop in the bottle for many years. Pairs well with first pasta dishes with ragù sauce, white meat, and medium-aged cheeses.
Papà Celso ‘22 surprises in elegance, despite the muscolar tannins that have always characterized it, and in an unexpected freshness not just granted in warm years. Plum, ripe cherry, hints of lavender and mint explode on the nose and palate thanks to the exceptional work of microssigenation allowed by aging in oval-shaped tanks of 7,000 liters of cement and clay, in which for the first time this wine is completely stored for months before bottling.
