Tasting Notes

Among the most celebrated expressions of its category, this Barolo DOCG showcases exceptional craftsmanship. 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 in the Cerretta cru in Serralunga d'Alba facing south, on soils rich in clayey marl and limestone. Vinification: slow alcoholic fermentation in oak vats with 40 days maceration. The wine is aged 48 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
