Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is alluring and profound. Balsamic
notes, sage, eucalyptus, white pepper and wild mint
emerge.
Maturation
Around 30 months in oak barrels and, for a
small portion, barriques.
Appearance
Intense ruby-red colour with garnet hues.
Palate
On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a
taut, mineral finish. As is typical of Serralunga, the
tannins are stark, sharp and very profound. The sweet
persistence of the finish is delightful.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand. After
gentle pressing, the juice ferments for around 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 the MGA “Lazzarito” vineyard
in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, a fabulous
amphitheater-shaped plot with a south-western
exposure. The soil is rich in limestone and clay, and
the altitude is between 330 and 380 m asl. The
average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines is 43 years,
and there is a density of around 4,500 plants per
hectare. The estate surface is around 2 hectares.
