About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo grapes come from the company's own vineyards around the commune of La Morra.

Vinification

Traditional winemaking: the must is fermented and macerated, then undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats.

Ageing

36 months in French oak barrels, followed by 2 years of bottle ageing in the cellar before release.

Tasting profile

Classic dry red in a traditional Barolo style, with a smooth palate and a pronounced bouquet. The aroma is expressive, with maritime notes. The tannins are rounder than usual for Barolo. The taste is elegant and the structure mature.

Serving and pairing

Suited to lunch or dinner; pairs especially well with roasted meat and mature cheeses.

Vintage notes
