Vintage details

The 2019 vintage in Langa was balanced, with a favorable climate that allowed for gradual grape ripening. The warm but not excessive summer months ensured healthy and concentrated bunches, while temperature fluctuations in September encouraged the development of Nebbiolo's most elegant aromas. The result is a precise Barolo, with ripe tannins and a fine, complex aromatic profile.

Winemaking and aging

After selective grape harvesting, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, with a maceration period of approximately 15-20 days, allowing the must to extract color, aromas, and tannins from the skins. The wine then rests for at least two years in large oak barrels, wood that provides balance and allows for slow and natural evolution. Bottle aging completes the maturation, enriching the bouquet and refining the taste profile.

Tasting notes

Color

In the glass, it presents an intense garnet color, characteristic of Nebbiolo, with orange reflections that anticipate an already incipient evolution, a distinctive sign of great Barolos.

Nose

On the nose, it offers a broad and deep spectrum: notes of ripe red fruits, dried rose, and sweet spices emerge, with light balsamic and undergrowth hints that attest to its complexity. Each new oxygenation reveals different nuances, making the olfactory experience increasingly captivating.

Palate

On the palate, it is full, harmonious, and enveloping. The tannins, well present but silky, build a solid and pleasant structure. The persistence is long and balanced, with a finish that recalls the fruity and spicy notes. It is a wine that evolves in the glass and surprises with its balance and finesse.
