The grapes come from a plot of about one hectare, with an average vine age of around 53 years and calcareous-clay soil. The winemaking follows a traditional approach, with fermentation in steel tanks in contact with the skins, pre- and post-fermentation maceration, and the use of submerged cap. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in structure, yet always balanced and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents an intense ruby red, typical of a \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e of great substance. The aromatic profile evokes ripe red fruits, violets, spices, plums, and the unmistakable tar note characteristic of the Brunate cru. On the palate, it is dry, broad, and velvety, with a generous body, a present but harmonious tannic structure, and a fresh tension that supports the sip. The finish is long, rich, and very elegant, with a persistence that invites another taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo DOCG 2016 Brunate\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs effectively with red meat, roasts, and game, but also shines with braised dishes, porcini mushrooms, game birds, and aged cheeses.
