Albe! ... the poetic name of this Barolo refers to the sky at sunrise, as experienced by the various terroirs of the estate: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta. These high-altitude sites each produce slightly different dawns, which is symbolically reflected in the harmony of the cuvée. The grapes come from young but ripe Nebbiolo vines and combine the nuances of each parcel to create a flowing, elegant expression. The grapes were carefully harvested by hand, each parcel was vinified separately and only combined into a cuvée in the spring before bottling. The wine is matured for around 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels (40–75 hl) with annual racking – a maturation that allows for depth and harmony.

Visually, the Albe is a clear garnet red with a sparkling cherry centre. The nose is enticing with a finely structured fragrance: ripe raspberry, dried rose petals, sweet spice and an elegant rose hint create subtle tonal contrasts. This floral elegance is complemented by herbal freshness, red cherry fruit and fine graphite. On the palate, Albe is impressively refined: silky, integrated tannins and a clear, fresh acidity carry the flavours as if in an atmospheric fabric. The complexity of the different morning orientations is palpable: mineral clarity merges with floral depth and a fruity finish. The finish is long, balanced and noticeably calm – a mature but lively Barolo that unites origin, craft and vintage as if in a mirror image. SUPERIORE.DE
