"Charming and enticing with flavours of sweet cherries, strawberries, cedar, dried herbs and some baking spices. Sensational concentration with a lively mid-palate on the full to medium body.

Technique

Viticulture

The grapes come from one of the oldest vineyards in the entire Barolo region: Rocche di Castiglione Falletto. The vines, planted in 1950 and 1968, have a southern exposure, steep sloping terraces and a mixed soil with a high percentage of sand. Guyot training system and a density of around 4,600 plants per hectare. Altitude around 330 m asl.

Oenology

Grapes are harvested by hand. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments for around 1 month in a steel tank, in contact with the skins and with regular pumping-overs. This period includes preand post-fermentation maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood. Ageing takes place in oak for around 30 months.
