Our Barolo DOCG comes from three different historic vineyards, two in La Morra and one in Monforte d'Alba. The vineyards in La Morra located, respectively, in Berri and Annunziata MGAs, give great elegance and aromaticity, while the one in Monforte, in Perno MGA, enriches the structure. Our classic Barolo is the most authentic expression of the Nebbiolo variety that evolves beautifully over time, always maintaining an elegant and recognizable style.
