Brilliant, garnet-red wine with orange highlights. On the nose, intense, complex aromas of cherries, spices, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, leather, and violets. On the palate, the wine is dry, warm, robust, beautifully smooth and balanced, with red fruits and soft tannins in the long-lasting finish.

The Nebbiolo grapes for this Barolo come from two different vineyards on the Bussia hill. One vineyard was planted in the early 2000s and the other in the late 90s. The vineyards are located on the southwest-facing slopes. Throughout the year, the vines are pruned and thinned multiple times to ensure high-quality grape growth. The grapes are harvested by hand starting in mid-October.

After the grapes are harvested, they are immediately brought to the winery, where the skins are gently cracked by light pressing. The grapes are then fermented for 25 days in large steel vats at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged traditionally for at least 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, after which it is bottled unfiltered. The wine is further refined in the bottle for at least 12 months in the domain's cellars.

Review:
"I love both the richness and the freshness of this Barolo with candied orange, citrus, frankincense, Christmas cake, dried rose petals and tar. Full-bodied but with edgy acidity, beautiful firm tannins and a compact finish. Drink in 2022." (James Suckling: 93/100 points)
