Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from a 2-hectare holding in Brunate, a historic inter-municipal cru extending across Barolo and La Morra. The vines were planted between 1979 and 1981. In the central part of the subzone, elevations range from 250 to 350 metres, with south- and southeast-facing exposure.
The soil is predominantly silty-clayey and contains comparatively little sand. This composition is associated with an elegant aromatic profile marked by fruit and spice.
Grapes
