Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is explosive, opulent, seductive and striking.
Maturation
Around 30 months in large barrels and, for a
small portion, barriques. Each cru is vinified separately
and assembled before bottling.
Appearance
Ruby red colour with medium intensity.
Palate
Notes of plum, red ripe black and sour
cherries, blackberry, rose petal, and tobacco. On the
palate, the flavor is classic, rich and potent, with
balsamic and slightly spicy notes. The tannins are
well integrated.
Vinification
Each individual cru is vinified and aged
separately and in different ways to bring out the
characteristics of each “terroir”. The grapes
are harvested by hand. After gentle pressing, the
juice ferments for around 3 - 4 weeks in a steel
tank, in contact with the skins. This period
includes pre and post-fermentation maceration,
involving the traditional submerged-cap
method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in
wood.
Region Notes
The grapes come from small yet significant
vineyards in the various municipalities of the Barolo
region. The average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines
is between 10 and 45 years old, with a density of
about 4,500 plants per hectare. The soil is rich in
limestone and clay.
