The Vineyard

• Location: Barolo (Cuneo-Piedmont). The vineyards are the most elected, on top of the Boschetti hill overlooking the village of Barolo

• Position: 320 meters above the sea level, sited facing south/south-west

• Soil: grey/white marl, rich in carbonates and fine sand of marine origin. Traditionally it produces wines recognizable by the finesse, the intensity of the fragrance and softness of the tannins

​

The Vine

• Grape variety: Nebbiolo 100%, with vines over 10 years old. Manual harvesting with selection of the bunches

​

The Wine

• Color: ruby red with garnet hints 

• Bouquet: persistent and penetrating with scents of rose and liquorice and spices 

• Flavor: elegant, full-bodied and austere with recurring olfactory sensations. Mineral spicy aftertaste

​

Serving

Serve at a temperature of 18°C pouring into large glasses (balloon). After being for a long time in a bottle it needs oxygen and it is better to swirl sometimes the wine in the glass while drinking.

You will enjoy the fascinating evolution of perfumes and flavours.
