Territory and wine style

This Barolo DOCG is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from owned vineyards located in Serralunga d’Alba, within the Additional Geographical Mention Cerretta. The south-facing exposure and the altitude of 280 meters above sea level promote balanced ripening of the grapes, while the soils of the Lequio formation, with white clays and layers of limestone sands, contribute to providing momentum, depth, and tasting tension. The vinification follows a manual selection of the grapes and a long maceration, followed by aging in large Austrian oak barrels and an additional period in the bottle, resulting in a defined and measured style.
