Dark plums and cherries, violets, dewy rose petals at dawn and a zephyr of melted tar fills the glass. A sensory joy. Gobs of black fruit fill the palate, and a cavalcade of fine, drying tannins escort the wine on a long and enjoyable journey.  As the vines mature this release is certainly worthy of Giaconda’s best Nebbiolo release to date.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol: 14.5%\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork \u003cbr\u003eCellaring: 5-20 years\u003cbr\u003eSource: Beechworth GI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWine making should be subtle and always seek balance - this should never seek to dominate the Terroir or characteristics of any given vintage. Giaconda wines are hand-crafted according to basically a natural wine making process. To us this means indigenous yeasts are employed for fermentation, natural bacteria for Malolactic fermentation, French oak barrel ageing, minimal sulphur additions, and no filtration before bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the red wines, a combination of whole bunch and de-stemmed crushed fruit is transferred to large concrete tanks for fermentation. These wines remain on skins for an extended period to develop softer, finer tannins and more complexity; before being basket pressed and transferred to French oak barrels (up to 40% new in some cases) for ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur wines are aged in French oak for almost two years - deep underground in the granite maturation cave, which can be seen below. This cave offers optimal conditions for fermentation and ageing with a stable temperature of 16 degrees centigrade and naturally high humidity all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060437336299,"sku":"SK80979175","price":132.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/2022_Giaconda_Beechworth_Nebbiolo_750ml_8d3a8eac-83e5-44c9-b989-f4f49500ecf1.jpg?v=1763083370","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2022-giaconda-beechworth-nebbiolo-750ml-1","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
