Tasting Notes

This Barbaresco 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 from the vineyards of this winery located in the most important cru of Treiso and San Rocco. Vinification: fermentation with maceration on the skins for 25-30 days in steel vats. The wine is aged 30 months in big oak barrel and, for a small percentage, in barriques. A wine true to Piedmont tradition, built for age-worthy elegance.
