## Summary

The Dardi sub-area of Bussia is historically one of the great Barolo crus, noted in L. Fantini's 1880 monograph on viticulture and oenology in the province of Cuneo and in Arcigola Slow Food's Atlas of the Great Vineyards of Langa. It was here that Beppe Colla began separating and vinifying grapes by cru rather than blending them, a founding idea for cru identity in Barolo.

## Tasting notes

Intense garnet red, wide and elegant bouquet delicately spiced with hints of flowers, small red fruits and goudron. Rich structure on the palate supported by soft tannins, enveloped in ripe fruit and liquorice, with extraordinary ageing potential.

## Food pairings

Red meat and furry game dishes, rich fish dishes such as baked turbot, fine cheese
