Vinification notes: Traditional fermentation, with maceration of the marc, takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26 – 28° C and lasts about fifteen days with frequent pumping over of the must (2 or 3 times a day). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into 500-litre French oak tonneaux. Ageing in wood lasts about 24 months, after which the Barolo spends a further 12 months in steel tanks and six months in the bottle. 4500 750 ml bottles are produced every year.

Tasting notes:
Colour: deep and brilliant ruby red in the glass
