Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is complex and
elegant. Notes of dry flowers, hay and rose petal,
accompanied by a hint of chamomile.
Appearance
Ruby red.
Palate
It is fresh,
balanced, silky, enveloping and full-bodied on the
palate. The tannins are prominent yet well-integrated.
The finish is long and persistent. We recommend
decanting a few hours before serving.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand. After gentle
pressing, the juice ferments for around 1 month
in a steel tank, in contact with the skins and with
regular pumping-overs. This period includes preand
post-fermentation maceration, involving the
traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic
fermentation takes place in wood.
Region Notes
The grapes come from one of the oldest vineyards in
the entire Barolo region: Rocche di Castiglione
Falletto. The vines, planted in 1950 and 1968, have a
southern exposure, steep sloping terraces and a mixed
soil with a high percentage of sand. Guyot training
system and a density of around 4,600 plants per
hectare. Altitude around 330 m asl.
