Territory and style of the wine

This Barolo DOCG comes from the Ginestra area, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most suitable areas of the denomination. The Vigna Casa Matè vineyard is located at about 300-350 meters above sea level, with a south-facing exposure and calcareous soils tending towards clay, elements that favor complete ripening and a solid structure. The vineyard, cultivated using the Guyot method, reflects careful and precise management, with low yields and manual harvesting in the second decade of October. All these factors contribute to a classic and territorial style, where finesse, depth, and longevity remain at the center.

On the palate, it is dry, structured, and enveloping, with present but well-integrated tannins and a freshness that supports the sip. The finish is long, harmonious, and persistent, with the typical ability of Barolo to gain complexity over time.
