Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is rich,
with notes of ripe red berries and fine spices.
Maturation
Around 30 months in total, in barriques and
large wood barrels. Bottled without being filtered.
Appearance
Intense ruby red colour.
Palate
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fruity and citrusy (orange,
mandarin) notes. The tannins are simultaneously fine
and imposing, supporting the wine’s enveloping and
persistent structure. The finish reveals balsamic notes
that further enliven this wine, with a rare elegance and
balance.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand on September
30, 2020. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments for
around 1 month 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 “Cerequio”
vineyard: one of the most significant MGAs in the
entire Barolo winegrowing region. Our plot is located
in the municipality of Barolo. Situated around 320 m
asl, it has a southern exposure and a density of around
4,600 plants per hectare, over an area spanning
almost one hectare. The average age of the vines is
around 37 years. Limestone soil with Marls of Saint
Agatha.
