Climate: The sun that warms the hilly soils during the year, alternating with precipitations that quench the fibres, creates a context of great variability that makes every grape harvest so very different from the others
Terroir: This is without doubt the most prestigious vineyard on the estate, producing a Barolo of great structure and long life. Located mid-hillside (350-400 m asl) facing south /south-west, the soil is of sedimentary marine origin (Miocene-Helvetian era), with a high content of greyish-white calcareous marl
Ageing: At this point ageing begins in barrels (2,000 – 14,000 litres). After the second year, the wine stays in the bottle for a further period before consuming. This further refines the tannins without increasing the wine’s woodiness, achieving the right balance between the aromas of the grapes and the wood

Color: Ruby-red with garnet highlights
Nose: It has a sumptuous bouquet, with clear-cut overtones of ripe plums, tobacco, mint, rosemary, cinnamon and dried mushrooms
Palate: Very dense, closely-woven tannins give the taste a well-knit sensation, together with softness and balance
