Grapes & tasting notes
This Barolo is vinified in stainless steel fermentation tanks with an internal rotary system and temperature control. Maceration normally lasts for 10-12 days. Malolactic fermentation occurs in oak where the Barolo is aged for a total of 22-24 months: 50% barriques and 50 % larger casks. After the blending, the Barolo spends another 8 months in stainless steel before bottling. Subtle aromas of toasted oak, mocha and camphor waft out of the glass. The tight palate offers cherry marinated in spirits, roasted coffee bean and powdered sage alongside brawny tannins.
