Denomination: DOCG (Checked and Guaranteed Origin Name).

Varietal: 100% nebbiolo.

Colour: an intense, elegantly transparent garnet red.

Aroma: The bouquet is full, complex and enveloping, with flowery aromas of dried roses and violets; fruity of raspberries and wild strawberries for the younger wines; of jam, marmalade and nutmeg, that with the passing of time are enriched with notes of black pepper, truffle, licorice, tobacco, leather, smoke and tar.

Flavour: With prominent softness, sapidity and tannins, this is a robust and austere wine, with notes of freshness still perceptible even after several years of ageing, which helps to guarantee a great longevity. Worthy of mention are also its balance, lingering taste and smell, and the marvellous harmony of its characteristics.

Vinification and ageing: following the ‘traditional’ idiosyncrasy of our reserve, we have created a Barolo that, albeit more robust and tannic, is still soft and gentle. Of a long maceration on the skins, the wine ages for at least 4 years in Slavonian oak barrels with a capacity of 15 hl, allowing the passing of time to refine its characteristics. Once the wine is put into bottles, it goes through an additional ageing period of at least 12 months.

Preferable with: red meats, roasted meat, game meat and cheeses of medium and long aged cheese.

Serving temperature: to enjoy the particularities of the wine, we recommend serving it at a temperature of 16/18 ºC in large wine goblets.

Denomination: DOCG (Checked and Guaranteed Origin Name)

Varietal: 100% Nebbiolo

Colour: an intense garnet red, elegantly transparent.

Aroma: The bouquet is full, complex and enveloping, with a flowery scent of dried roses and violets; fruity, of raspberries and wild strawberries, for the younger wines; of jam, marmalade and nutmeg, that with the passing of time develops hints of black pepper, licorice, tobacco, leather and smoke.

Flavour: distinctly tannic when young, with a rich body; its taste is dry, full, robust but velvety, very harmonious and enveloping.

Vinification and ageing: Our Barolo is a robust and tannic wine, but it is also soft and elegant. By a long maceration on the skins after fermentation, the wine ages for nearly 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels with a capacity of 30 to 100 hl, in order to enhance its attributes. Then the wine is placed into bottles, where it undergoes an additional ageing process of several months.

Preferable with: red meats, roasted meat, game meat, medium or hard ripening cheeses.

Serving temperature: to enjoy the particularities of the wine, we recommend serving it at a temperature of 16/18 ºC in large wine goblets.

It is a wine of long ageing that grows in emotions as time goes by.
