Fermentation lasted around three weeks in a steel vat, with skin contact and regular pump over to oxygenate the wine and extract the color, flavor compounds, and phenolic structure. This period included a cold soak and a post-fermentation maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. The wine was transferred to oak where malolactic conversion took place. The wine was matured for 30 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks.
Refined, rich and full-bodied with wonderful balance. Red and dark fruits, along with oak spice are enveloped by soft, silky tannins and a striking hint of almond on the finish.

Winery | The grapes for this wine come from the ‘Roncaglie’ Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive (MGA) which is a specifically delineated vineyard in the municipality of Barbaresco, which has always been recognized as one of the most premium areas. The combination of the limestone and clay-rich soils, the south-to-south-westerly orientation which benefits from optimal exposure to the ripening sun, and the elevation at approximately 280 meters above sea level, come together to produce beautifully balanced and refined Barbarescos. The average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines is around 34 years, they are planted at a density of around 4,600 vines per hectare. The vines are sustainably cultivated and manually harvested. |
