Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is explosive, powerful and wide-ranging. Fruity notes of
plum, citrusy hints of cedar, grapefruit and spices
emerge. After a few minutes in the glass, notes of
violet flower—typical of the Brunate terroir—emerge.
Maturation
Around 30 months in total, in large wood
barrels and for a small part in barriques. Bottled
without being filtered.
Appearance
Intense ruby-red colour.
Palate
On the palate, it is intense and full-bodied. The soft,
rounded and velvety tannins are typical of the La
Morra area. The finish reveals a hint of liquorice root.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand on September
30, 2020. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments for
around 3 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 the historic MGA “Brunate”
vineyard in the municipality of La Morra, located on
the southern slope towards Barolo. The soil is
characterized by Marls of Saint Agatha at an altitude of
about 350 m asl. The average age of the
Guyot-cultivated vines is 51 years, with a density of
around 4,600 plants per hectare.
