- This Barolo exudes elegance and vigor, presenting a harmonious blend of black cherry, plum, and red berry flavors, interwoven with nuances of violet, rose, discreet hints of licorice, and a subtle touch of laurel. It achieves a delightful equilibrium between freshness and ripeness, with finely integrated tannins underscoring its character.
This wine was made organically with minimal sulphur. The must was fermented at controlled temperatures, followed by a 30-day maceration, which extracted flavour, colour, and tannins. It then underwent malolactic conversion, softening the palate. The wine was then transferred to large Slavonian oak casks of 15 to 30 hectolitres, where it matured for 24 months and was gently prepared for bottling. It received one year's bottle ageing in the cellar before release.
An elegant yet racy Barolo with black cherry, plum and red berries layered with violet, rose, discreet hints of liquorice and an imperceptible touch of laurel. It is a lovely combination of freshness and ripeness with refined tannins in the background.

| Winery | The organic grapes come from several vineyards in the southwestern Barolo region, around Barolo, Monforte d'Alba and Novello. Planted in 1991, they have been organically farmed since 2010. Situated at 300 metres elevation, the vines are planted at a density of 3,700 per hectare and have south-easterly and southwesterly orientations. The Nebbiolo vines are Lampia clones and are grown on rootstocks K5BB and 420A. Guyot is pruned and specially trained. They are grown in clay silt, sand, and silty soils, resulting in complexity in the wine. The vines are carefully cultivated by hand, with green harvesting and thinning taking place to control yields and increase the flavour concentration in the grapes. Green manure is employed to enhance the vitality of the soil, and the cuttings from the grass cover crops are left on the soil to help increase the nutrient value. Following organic viticulture, copper and sulphur are used when necessary; herbicides and pesticides are not employed. Harvest takes place by hand. |
