100% Nebbiolo planted on clay and limestone soils with southeastern exposure in the heart of Barolo. Hand harvested in two passes around ten days apart: the first pick to preserve freshness of fruit and the second to deliver power and richness. Fermented in stainless steel before aging in large, used oak casks. Bottled and released four years after harvest.
A commanding and supremely elegant bouquet of raspberry, cherry, rose petal, cedar, blond tobacco, gentle spice and a touch of licorice. The impressive, full-bodied palate is rich and dense with concentrated fruit buttressed by firm structure and bright acidity. A serious wine which can be cellared but is absolutely singing right now.
