Description

Why we love it
Pristine flavours and clearly defined perfumes in a beautifully elegant Barolo from high-altitude vineyards.

Tasting notes
Light ruby red in colour. On the nose, aromas of redcurrants, cherries and cooked strawberries, alongside notes of mint, rosehip, rhubarb, lavender and liquorice. On the palate, it is generous, layered and youthful with ripe tannins and a smooth finish.

Food pairing
Pair with game birds or meats, a rib-eye steak, Ossobuco, charcuterie, hearty meat pasta dishes, or mushroom or chestnut dishes.

Additional information
Vinification was carried out in custom-designed vertical vats, with gentle punch downs and rinsing of the cap. Fermentation lasted between 28 and 49 days, with partial submerged cap maceration. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks in the spring. The wine was aged for 30 months in large Slavonian-oak casks and was bottled in the summer prior to release.
