Tasting Notes

This Barbaresco DOCG stands as a benchmark for Piedmont's highest quality classification. Its 14.5% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Nebbiolo 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards at an altitude of 310 m. asl, on soils rich in limestone and clay, on vines at least 15 years, with Southern exposure. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in steel tanks. The wine is aged 24 months in oak barrels. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
