## Interesting facts

## Food pairing

The wine's medium+ to high acidity and graceful tannins make it an excellent companion for richer proteins, where the acidity cuts through fat and the tannins bind with protein, softening both. Traditional Piedmontese dishes, often featuring robust flavors and earthy ingredients like mushrooms and slow-cooked meats, find a natural harmony with Nebbiolo's complexity.

## Wine making process

Ca' di Press Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 is produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The winemaking process begins with fermentation in steel tanks utilizing indigenous yeasts. Maceration on the skins can extend up to 25 days. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in steel tanks for 8 months, after which it rests in the bottle for 9 months. Vineyard management follows natural and organic principles, with minimal use of sulfur and copper-based products. Multiple selections are made in the vineyard during harvest.
