Territory and wine style

The Serralunga d’Alba area is among the most suited for Barolo and produces wines of character, deep and long-lived. In this case, the east and southeast exposure, the altitude of 250 meters, and the soils of the Lequio formation, with sands, sandstones, and gray silty marls, contribute to defining a rich and rigorous profile. The vinification starts from certified organic grapes, manually selected and harvested in October, with a long maceration and fermentation that enhance the material, aromas, and tannic texture. Aging in large Austrian oak barrels for about 24 months, followed by further resting in the bottle, completes a classic and measured style.
