Flavour profile
This Barolo is made from Nebbiolo from various vineyards around Serralunga d'Alba (Baudana, Ceretta, and a bit of Costabella), a village known for its powerful and structured Barolos. The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by a long maceration and fermentation process. The wine is then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, ensuring a balanced development without the oak overpowering the Nebbiolo's finesse. Finally, the wine is aged in bottle until release, allowing its characteristic intensity and elegance to beautifully blend.
