From the vineyard to the bottle
the grapes come from the municipality of Barolo, in the historic MeGA Coste di Rose.
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 320 meters above sea level. And they enjoy a south-east/south exposure.
The harvest is carried out in the second ten days of October.
The grapes are harvested manually in 20 kg boxes. After pressing, fermentation and maceration continue for approximately 15 days.
After racking, the wine begins its refinement period for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, the last aging period involves a period of 6 months in steel barrels and 10 months in the bottle before being put on the market.
Tasting notes
This wine has a very dense garnet red color tending towards orange.
On the nose, clear hints of ripe fruit and fresh flowers, citrus fruits and spices such as white pepper, cinnamon and a pinch of liquorice. In the mouth it is full-bodied and balanced, enveloping tannins that are never aggressive on the palate and mixes well with other hardnesses, resulting in a very persistent wine. We recommend pairing it with game or stewed dishes.
