## Summary

A single-vineyard Barolo from the estate's organically farmed Brunate plot, purchased by the family in 1968.

## Tasting notes

Ruby tending towards garnet, with intense notes of rose and violet, a touch of damp earth and ripe red fruit. Very persistent yet soft tannins that will take a long time to fully evolve.
