Brunate

Cru Barolo from the Brunate vineyard on the Barolo/La Morra border, an inter-municipal cru of 2 hectares planted 1979-1981 and aged at least three years in large Slavonian oak. The old farmhouse La Brunata, on the vineyard, has belonged to the winery since its early days.
Tasting notes
Dry, austere, flavorful and harmonious, with good phenolic concentration; elegant bouquet with fruity and spicy notes.
