About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The approximately 1-hectare vineyard lies within the municipality of Barolo. Sandy soils characterize the area close to the Cannubi subzone, while the ground becomes more compact on the slope overlooking the hill of La Morra. The exposure is southwest, and the vines were planted between 1975 and 1977.

Grapes

100% Dolcetto.

Vinification

Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation proceeds in contact with the skins for approximately 15 days.

Ageing

The wine is refined for several months in stainless steel, preserving the variety’s freshness and aromatic fragrance.

Tasting profile

The nose is vinous, with floral notes and aromas of fresh fruit. The palate is dry and finishes with a lightly almond-like aftertaste.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 16–17 °C. Available in 750 mL bottles.
