Tasting Notes: A deep tawny with hints of garnet, this Italian Barolo awakens the palate with a complex and persistent bouquet. Aromas of young red fruits are delicately balanced with clay, fresh mint, and cedar. The taste is marked by stewed fruits along with a great tannic and acidic balance, making it a long-lasting wine.

Winemaking Notes: Harvested in mid-October, the grapes are hand-picked, pressed and destemmed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barrels for 24 months to bring a rounded and softer character to the wine while stabilizing its color and enriching its bouquet. At the end of the process, the wine is filtered, refined and then bottled.
