Tasting Notes

This Barolo DOCG stands as a benchmark for Piedmont's highest quality classification. With 14.5% alcohol content, it offers a full-bodied and robust structure. 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 from 30 years vines on medium-limestone soils with clayey shades at about 300-350 meters above sea level. Vinification: fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature. Complete malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. The wine is aged 60 months in oak wood barrels. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
