Barolo from Bussia in Monforte d'Alba, the estate's largest cru holding at 5.93 ha.

Tasting notes

Great structure and intense colour from the mineral terroir, firm enveloping tannins, long lasting aftertaste. Ripe raspberry and pomegranate with spicy, balsamic notes. 2022 vintage sheet: red plums and cherries, blue flowers, ground cloves and bark; medium-full body, fine velvety tannins, dry and juicy with some austerity on the finish, chalky and mineral.
