## Summary

One of the oldest and smallest MGAs in the Barolo zone, and the estate's most structured Barolo. First vintage 1970; from the 2019 vintage it becomes a Riserva with longer ageing in wood.

## Tasting notes

Garnet red. Delicate, lasting aroma with a typically balsamic note, liquorice and mint. Full, warm, pleasantly tannic palate.

## Food pairings

Spit-roasted and grilled red meats, game, white and red meat dishes from classic cuisine, aged cheeses.
