Barolo DOCG
The Nebbiolo grapes for this Barolo come from three different vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Diano d’Alba, covering a total area of approximately two hectares.
The grapes are harvested, crushed and fermented together as a single batch. The use of grapes from different vineyards is intended to bring together colour, aromatic complexity and flavour characteristics in the most complete way possible.
This Barolo is crafted to appeal to a wide range of palates. For this reason, the vine-growing techniques and winemaking technology are carefully balanced to satisfy those who appreciate delicacy and finesse, while also appealing to those particularly drawn to structure and volume.
It pairs beautifully with pasta dishes featuring meat ragù, white and red meats, and medium- to long-aged cheeses.

Winemaking:
The grapes undergo skin-contact maceration in a horizontal stainless-steel fermenter at a controlled temperature for approximately 10–12 days. Daily pump-overs and racking, with irrigation of the cap, ensure thorough extraction and keep the wine clean.
After pressing and separation from the skins, the wine is aged in 225-litre barriques for 18 months. The proportion of new oak, ranging from 30% to 50%, versus previously used barrels is determined according to the richness and structure of each vintage.
The final stage of ageing, lasting 6–12 months, takes place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by bottling. No clarification or filtration is carried out.
