This classic Barolo, based on an exciting blend of plots from Serralunga d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Barolo, shows the stylistic signature of the region at its best. The soils are structurally diverse: rich in calcareous marl, loam and mineral intersperses, each parcel contributes its part to the tension of the wine. The 2020 vintage reveals a model year of balance: a cool, precise ripening process with milder temperatures early on, followed by warm but balanced days and cool nights until the harvest. After traditional vinification – including daily pumping over during the 25-day maceration period – the wine matured for around 24–30 months in tonneaux.

Bright ruby red in the glass with subtle garnet reflections. The nose opens with an aromatic clarity: notes of wild strawberries, violets and cinnamon apricots hover over an undertone of tobacco leaf and parmesan crust – sensual and clear. On the palate, the Barolo is full-bodied without being overpowering: elegant, tightly woven tannins, balanced acidity and a mineral-accented length define the style. The finish is persistent, carried by a hint of orange peel, rose petals and fine, tarred spice – an experience that perfectly combines character, balance and origin. Wonderful value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with garnet reflections. Elegant and inviting fruit on the nose of ripe raspberries, strawberries and cherries, underpinned by pencil lead, leather and mint. Very elegant, fruity entry on the palate, with a delicate melting texture and good balance as it progresses, the tightly woven tannins are finely integrated, with plenty of fruit on the long final." Falstaff

"Aromas and flavours of raspberry, cherry, rose, spice and tar underline this light but well-structured red wine. Elegant, with a solid line of chalky tannins that define the delicious finish." Wine Spectator

"Bright ruby red in colour, this is a restrained Barolo with aromas of wild strawberries, parma violets, cinnamon and orange peel. The palate is crisp, with dusty tannins, a medium body, a good concentration of blood orange flavours, a dense structure and a polished finish. Due to its balance, it is approachable now but will improve with time." James Suckling
