About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown across the Barolo area, which encompasses eleven villages south of Alba.

Vinification

Harvest usually begins in late September. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 30–31 °C for 8–10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine spends two years in Slavonian and French oak barrels. After bottling, it matures for at least 12 months in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Vibrant and juicy, with a pleasant aroma and an open, approachable palate.

Serving and pairing

Decant for about one hour before serving.
