About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The wine comes from a family-owned 0.17 ha parcel in the Terlo geographical mention, within the municipality of Barolo. The vineyard lies among the hills connecting Novello and La Morra and overlooking the village of Barolo. It borders the MGA Coste and is close to Ravera. The vineyard was planted in 1967.
Grapes
Nebbiolo. Grapes from this parcel have been vinified as Barolo di Barolo since 2013.
Vinification
Harvest takes place by hand in small crates once physiological maturity has been reached, assessed through the ripeness of the seeds. The fruit undergoes two manual selections before vinification. Fermentation proceeds for about ten days in wooden vats with a pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts. Traditional submerged-cap maceration follows for approximately 60–70 days.
Ageing
The wine matures for approximately five years in neutral oak and concrete vats.
