Mon Surí

Hilberg Pasquero Mon Surí

A single-plot Nebbiolo from vines at least 40 years old on very steep, south-facing slopes, aged a minimum of two years in wood and a further year in bottle before release.

Tasting notes

A rich, intense Nebbiolo with soft tannins, from old vines exposed to the sun from morning to evening; a reserve made to be enjoyed today but built to age.

Pairs well with

Grilled red meats and mushrooms, and dishes with umami depth.

Vinification
Hand-harvested on steep slopes and softly destemmed to preserve skin structure; fermented in wood vats or steel tanks, some with submerged cap and some with manual punch-downs, for two weeks to two months depending on vintage and parcel. Matured in mid-sized wooden vats for at least two years, then naturally decanted and rested a further year in bottle before release.
