## Summary

A Barolo macerated 25-30 days with the submerged cap and aged at least 24 months in large Slavonian oak. The name is a coined word that sounds like the Piedmontese for 'cared for'.

## Tasting notes

Light ruby red with elegant garnet and orange hues. Broad, intense, complex and balsamic nose, surprisingly changeable. Full, robust, long and rich in personality.

## Food pairings

Great dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, game and medium to long-aged cheeses; built for longevity.
