This is a terroir particularly suited to Nebbiolo, known for its loamy soil and the natural amphitheater that protects and enhances the vineyard. The 2018 vintage favored a slow and regular maturation of the grapes, thanks to a cool season followed by a long period of good weather. The result is a balanced wine, true to the tradition of \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e and capable of combining precision, elegance, and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a garnet red color, enriched by slight brick reflections, typical of a mature and classy Nebbiolo.
