From the Winery 

“Ruri is a Langhe Nebbiolo produced with a fermentation lasting 8 to 10 days. Following a second malolactic fermentation, the wine is refined in steel casks. After it is refined for nine mounth in 1500 lt barrel. The result is a fresh, fruity and velvety wine, with perfectly balanced, almost creamy tannins and a deep intense color, perfect not only for matching red meats and seasoned cheese, but as stand-alone aperitif as well.

Langhe Nebbiolo from Barolo is suppose to be “Baby Barolo?” A little softer and more user-friendly in its youth, so you can chug your Langhe Nebbiolo by the glass, and savor your money-splurge Barolo on special occasions, right? Well, if that’s the case, then the 2017 “Ruri” is one of those kids who can run circles around most Barolo grown-ups. This is all-Ginestra Nebbiolo to begin with (no short-cuts) produced with a fermentation of 8 to 10 days by way of steel. The wine is held in steel for 9 months, followed by an additional 9 months in 1,500 liter barrels. “Ruri” is a long-puff of earth, exotic spice, and a sweet-dried core of fruit. Unconditionally itself, and definitely an impressive youngster who can makes it’s fancier cousins just seem pointless. Ruri = from Latin = country farm. It’s a fitting name for this one-of-a kind “Bambino Barolo.”
