Product notes

The grapes are selected from very important small vineyards in the Barolo region. The vines are between 10 and 43 years old, planted in a clay-limestone soil and trained with the Guyot system.

All the different single vineyards are vinified and aged separately with slightly different processes to highlight the typical characteristics of each “terroir”. The wine is aged for about 30 months in oak casks and barriques; all parcels are then carefully blended before bottling.
