Tasting Notes

Crafted from Barbera 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 in La Morra, 10-30 years old vines on calcareous and partially sandy soils.

A wine combining Piedmont's trademark power with finesse and complexity.
