Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is rich and potent. Hints of flowers and ripe
fruit emerge.
Maturation
Around 30 months in large barrels.
Appearance
Ruby red colour with subtle garnet hues.
Palate
On the palate it is full-bodied. Notes of
small red fruit (strawberry, raspberry). The tannins are
mature but at the same time soft and silky. The hint of
almond on the finish is particularly striking. Overall,
well balanced and refined.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand. Alcoholic
fermentation lasts around 3 weeks in a steel tank, in
contact with the skins and with regular pumping-
overs. This period includes cold pre and post-
fermentation maceration, involving the
traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic
fermentation takes place in wood.
Region Notes
The grapes come from the MGA “Roncaglie” vineyard
in the municipality of Barbaresco, which has always
been recognized as one of the best areas in
the homonymous winegrowing area. Limestone-
and clay-rich soil, south/south-western exposure
and approximately 280 m asl. The average age
of the Guyot-cultivated vines is around 35 years,
with a density of around 4,600 plants per hectare.
