Territory and wine style

This Barolo DOCG originates from Serralunga d'Alba, an area historically suited to expressing wines of great structure and longevity. The clay-limestone marls and the favorable exposure contribute to giving strength, depth, and tension to the sip, while the choice of Nebbiolo enhances the classic profile of the denomination. The limited production and the origin from vineyards with an average age of about 20 years make this label particularly interesting for those who desire an authoritative, complex Barolo that is consistent with the territory.

Tasting notes

On the palate, the wine is warm, structured, and supported by powerful, well-defined tannins typical of great Nebbiolo. The taste structure is broad, with a progression that combines strength and precision, leaving a persistent and authoritative finish.
