Tasting Notes

This prestigious Barolo 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 five different plots of Vigna Merenda in Sarmassa cru, at 300 metres above sea level on clayey and calcareous soils. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel vats controlled temperature with long maceration on the skins. The wine is aged 30 months in oak barrels of 25 hl and 36 months in bottle. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
