- It is a powerful wine with alluring aromas of herbaceous tones, tobacco, and pepper, which lead to a robust palate with profound tannins and a taut minerality leading to a persistent finish. 2018 was a cool year, characterised by a rainy start to the season, especially in April, followed by slightly below-average temperatures through the summer. September brought ideal conditions with perfect diurnal temperature swings, which are important for the phenolic ripening of grapes. 2018 resulted in classic and elegant wines.
The grapes were gently pressed. Skin-contact fermentation lasted for around four weeks in a steel tank, including pre- and post-ferment maceration involving the traditional submerged-cap method. The malolactic conversion took place in oak, and the wine was matured for 30 months in Slavonian and French oak casks. It was bottled without filtration.

| Winery | The grapes come from two hectares of estate vines in the Barolo Cru of “Lazzarito” in Serralunga d’Alba, a fabulous amphitheatre-shaped plot with southwestern exposure. Serralunga d’Alba is the furthest east of the Barolo communes, where the soil is rich in limestone and clay; these soils are some of the oldest in the region, poor, unfertile, and white calcareous, which brings saline minerality and tension to the wine. The estate vines are planted between 330 and 380 meters above sea level. The average age of the Guyot-trained vines is 43 years, and they are planted at a density of around 4,500 vines per hectare. They are cultivated sustainably and are hand-harvested in October. |
