- This wine embodies an impressive structure. It possesses intense notes of wild berries and cassis and delicate highlights of herbs, violets, licorice, and dried ginger. It exudes elegance and culminates in a long, smooth finish.
This wine was made organically with minimal sulphur. The must was fermented, followed by maceration, lasting 10 to 15 days. The must undergo frequent pump-over to submerge the cap, extracting colour, flavour, and tannins. The wine was racked and underwent malolactic conversion in cement vats at 18°C. The wine was then transferred to Slavonian oak barrels of 15 to 30 hectolitres, where it matured for 24 months. The wine was bottled, numbered (only around 9,000 were produced) and cellared for one year at 15°C before release.
It is a wine of great charm and impressive structure. It offers intense notes of wild berries and cassis and delicate highlights of herbs, violets, liquorice, and dried ginger. It is elegant and has a long, smooth finish.

| Winery | The 1.4-hectare vineyard in the prestigious Cru of Cannubi was planted in 1994, with further plantings in 2003, and has been organically farmed since 2010. A well-respected vineyard area since 1752, it is in Cannubi that two of the four important geological formations that characterise the area of Barolo merge: the Fossil Marl, comprising mainly fine silty and clay sediment, and the Diano Sandstone, which consists of compact sand alternating with grey sandstone. The vineyard soil composition is silt 39.5%, sand 36.9% and clay 23.6%. The Guyot-pruned vines are planted at a south-easterly orientation and a 250-metre elevation. The vines are Lampia and Michet clones grown on rootstocks K5BB and 420A. Planted at a density of 3,700 vines per hectare, they are carefully cultivated by hand, with green harvesting and thinning to control yields and increase the flavour concentration. By organic viticulture, copper and sulphur are used when necessary; herbicides and pesticides are not employed. Manually harvested. |
