Tasting Notes

This Langhe DOC captures the distinctive personality of Piedmont terroir. At 14% 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 La Morra, 20-50 years old vines in calcareous and partially sandy soils with South and South-East exposure. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation with 3-4 days of maceration in steel vats controlled temperature. The wine is aged 6 months in French used barrels. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
