## Summary

Single-vineyard Barolo from the family's Bussia holding in Monforte d'Alba, aged at least 30 months in large oak and at least 12 months in steel.

## Tasting notes

Colour: garnet red with orange reflections. Nose: intense red fruit jam and wild berries, floral notes of withered rose and violet, then more complex spice, liquorice, leather and undergrowth. Palate: enveloping and elegant, long persistence with polished, harmonious tannins; the alcohol is balanced by a surprising freshness, a sign of great ageing capacity.

## Food pairings

Classic match with succulent dishes: game, fine grilled meats, stews, boiled meats. Perfect with cured meats, also ideal with aromatic dishes based on truffle, liver and sheep cheeses.
