A Barolo that embodies the tradition and excellence of Nebbiolo, with an alcohol content of 14.5% vol. The grapes, 100% Nebbiolo, come from a historic vineyard. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were crushed and only 65% destemmed. Maceration, which took place in stainless steel tanks, lasted approximately seven days at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Malolactic fermentation was completed before the end of winter. Aged in French oak barrels of various capacities for 18 months and then for 24 months in stainless steel. The wine aged for 24 months in bottle before being released. The nose is complex and characterized by aromas of spices, including exotic ones, dried flowers, and undergrowth. On the palate it stands out for its excellent concentration of fine, sweet tannins, capable of enveloping the palate without being aggressive, with a long and persistent finish.
