Description
A Barolo with a classic bouquet coming from the vine variety and the soil: hints of withered rose, undergrowth, prunes, liquorice and spices. The grapes come from the Bricco Voghera area and the lower part of Cerrati, two crus of Serralunga D'Alba. The 2018 vintage is the first one with the organic certification. Grapes are entirely handpicked, destemmed and pressed, then left to ferment for about 10 days in vats at a temperature of 18-26°C. Submerged cap maceration for the following 8-10 days and, once finished the fermentation and maceration the drawing-off process takes place followed by a few pouringius in the next days. Before transferring the wine to the ageing area, it undertakes a malolactic fermentation.

Tasting NotesA bright ruby red colour with an orange rim, fresh wine with a tart component and tannins sustaining a good structure. The aromas are elegant, with a good intensity. The fruit is sweet, with more evolved sensations echoing tobacco and dried herbs.
-
PairingIts full-bodied flavour makes it ideal for red meats and feathered game, particularly when braised.
-
CellaringA wine of marked youthful exuberance, left to age for 24 months in traditional Slavonian oak of 25 Hl where the maturing process brings out its elegance. It then sits in bottles for 12 months before being sold.
