About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from a very small parcel of the estate’s vineyards on the Bricco Boschis hill. The estate lies at the top of the hill, on the outskirts of Castiglione Falletto in the Barolo region.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24–30 months in traditional Slavonian oak casks, followed by six months in bottle. The underground cellars maintain natural humidity and a temperature of approximately 16 °C. Bottles are stored horizontally in ventilated rooms kept at 14.5 °C and 75% relative humidity throughout the year.

Label / history

Annual production is approximately 13,100 bottles.
