- **Style:** Red
- **Denomination:** Barolo DOCG
- **Grape:** Nebbiolo 100%
- **Production area:** Four vineyards in the communes of Barolo and La Morra
- **Soil:** Tortonian
- **Vineyard planting:** Guyot with medium-short pruning, about 5,000 vines per hectare, yield cut to about 1.5 kg per vine
- **Vinification:** Ripe grapes picked into small perforated 20 kg crates and sorted bunch by bunch. After transport to the cellar the grapes rest about 8 hours in the fruttaio, where ventilation reduces their humidity. Very soft crushing preserves the skins and leaves no stalk in the must.

Ageing: 24 months in oak, then a few months in bottle.

## Summary

A blend of Nebbiolo from four vineyards in Barolo and La Morra, described by the producer as the traditional recipe of the Barolo area. Aged 24 months in oak.

## Tasting notes

Brilliant garnet red with slight orange reflections; plum, wild blackberry, cinnamon and liquorice on the nose. Persistence and complexity, which the producer calls very feminine, with tannins that are by now almost fully fused.

Red meat, game, truffle recipes, blue or aged cheeses.
