Tasting Notes

This prestigious Barbaresco DOCG represents the pinnacle of Italian winemaking excellence. At 14.5% alcohol, it delivers real concentration and power on the palate. 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 from the 3 areas of the vineyard Cascina Il Bricco in Treiso at over 350 m above sea level. Vinification: fermentation with maceration on the skins for about 25 days in steel vats. The wine is aged 30 months in big oak barrels and, for a small percentage, in barriques for the first 18 months. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
