Tasting Notes: A Barolo of remarkable elegance and depth. The bouquet opens on clear notes of black cherry, rosehip and hints of balsamic herbal notes, woven with graphite nuances and fine spice. On the palate, it is harmonious and vertical, with finely chiseled, fine-grained tannins and vibrant freshness supporting the fruit-driven core. The finish is long and mineral, revealing balance and ageing potential — an authentic expression of a well-balanced vintage and a style defined by precision.
Vinification: The vineyards are divided into micro-parcels based on the ripeness of the clusters. Separate harvests are conducted while always maintaining perfect uniformity of the grapes. This allows for the production of multiple cuvées for each parcel.
This separation is maintained throughout the vinification and aging process. In stainless steel tanks, the fermentation of all the micro-cuvées occurs first, followed by submerged cap maceration: the grape skins are kept submerged at about 40-50 cm, at a controlled temperature for a medium to long period, up to 30 days
Aging: ter at least 18 months of aging in wood, the different micro-cuvées are expertly blended. The wine is bottled, where it remains until the following year before being released to the market.
Food Pairing: Top pairings include truffle risotto, beef tenderloin, game meats, and pasta with porcini mushrooms or heavy ragu.
