Tasting Notes

Among the most celebrated expressions of its category, this Barbaresco DOCG showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Its 14% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Nebbiolo 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards about 30 years old vines on clayey-calcareous and marly-calcareous soils of the Grand Cru village of Verzy. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation of the grapes in stainless steel and second fermentation in the bottle according to the Classic Method. The wine is aged 24 months in barriques and in oak barrels. A wine combining Piedmont's trademark power with finesse and complexity.
