Tasting notes:

Sourced from 40 years old vines in “Il Bricco” vineyard in Treiso, one of the highest altitude sites in Barbaresco with clay soils. Aged in French oak “botti” for about 30 months. A powerful with aromas of raspberry and notes of leather, minerals and cloves. Fantastic depth of fruit on the palate well-balanced with layers of tannins. Full, deep and focused, with great length and structure.

Producer description:

The estate spreads across 70 hectares (35ha in Barolo and 26ha in Barbaresco) of the most highly rated vineyards of Piedmont, which benefit from great exposures.

Critic Scores

James Suckling | 95

This is a very solid red for the vintage, with a medium to full body and extremely refined and focused tannins that run the length of the wine. Bitter-lemon, strawberry and spice flavors. Compact and long. Give it at least two or three years. Try after 2025.
