Tasting Notes

This Barolo 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 2 hectares at 350 m above sea level, on a soil full of clay and limestone. Vinification: spontaneous fermentation in horizontal fermentation tanks for about 12-15 days. The wine is aged 24 months divided in small and big barrels. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
