Tasting Notes

This Barolo DOCG stands as a benchmark for Piedmont's highest quality classification. 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 in Monforte d'Alba from vines over 30 years old, on vineyards located at an altitude of 300-350 m. above sea level, facing South, on soils rich in limestone and clay. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine is aged 30 months in oak casks, then 8-10 months in the cellar. A wine combining Piedmont's trademark power with finesse and complexity.
