Vineyard and terroir
The Nebbiolo is grown in the Barolo vineyards of Piedmont. The estate covers 8.66 hectares and is farmed organically, with only natural fertilizers used in the vineyards. Vines are carefully selected, and the crop is reduced to half of the grape clusters. In favourable, warm years each vine yields enough fruit for one bottle; in rainy years several vines are needed for one bottle.
Vinification
Harvest usually takes place from late September to early October.
Ageing
24 months in oak barrels, 8 months in steel tanks, then 8 months in bottle.
Tasting profile
The 2020 is powerful, rich and deep, with a fine structure and a complex, expressive aroma. It has excellent ageing potential.
