Cavalier Bartolomeo's 100% Nebbiolo bottling under the more accessible Langhe DOC, named 'Trassa'. The grapes macerate on the skins for about 8-10 days in temperature-controlled tanks before aging in 500-liter tonneaux for around six months, followed by further refinement in bottle. It shows a ruby red color, an intense, fresh and vinous nose with floral notes recalling wild rose alongside fresh red fruit, and a properly tannic yet soft and fresh palate with a full-bodied, persistent finish — offering a more immediate expression of the estate's Nebbiolo character than its Barolo bottlings.
Trassa shows you exactly why Cavalier Bartolomeo's Barolo works — same fruit character, same house style, just younger and friendlier.
