The reference to the geographical designation defines the origin of the grapes and links the wine to a specific area within Barolo, making its territorial identity recognizable both on the label and in the producer’s story.How is it producedVinification begins with a pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature for 48 hours. This is followed by fermentation in steel at controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for 20–25 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 24 months in small partially new oak barrels, with the use of wood aimed at integrating structure and spicy notes.Tasting notesOn the eye, it is a ruby red of good intensity with slight garnet reflections. The nose reveals notes of cassis and blackcurrant, accompanied by well-defined spicy hints.

It is also suited to structured dishes and slow-cooked recipes, where its smoothness complements intensity and savoriness without overpowering.When to serve itIt is ideal when you desire a red wine to accompany meat and aged cheese dishes, thanks to its delicate, smooth profile supported by mineral persistence. The 24 months maturation in partially new oak makes it suitable for gatherings and lunches or dinners where a long, orderly finish is appreciated.
