Tasting Notes

Representing the pinnacle of artisanal, minimal-intervention viticulture from one of Piedmont’s ultimate legends, this rare Langhe Nebbiolo—with a highly limited production of only about 4,000 bottles annually—is crafted from precious declassified parcels within the estate's iconic Barolo holdings. The 2018 growing season featured complex alternating cold and hot intervals, demanding meticulous care to maintain freshness and capture a delicate, weightless finesse. Poured into the glass, it displays a classic, translucent bright ruby gem complexion.

The bouquet unravels elegantly to showcase traditional aromatics of dark cherry, dried florals, sweet spice, and a core of dusty earth and savory tobacco.

On the palate, its medium-bodied architecture delivers a silky entry balanced by high acidity and well-integrated, fine-grained tannins that resolve in a persistent, dry finish. Leading critic Antonio Galloni spotlights its immediate approachability, noting that the wine "offers plenty of charm and immediacy" while pushing its dark fruit, spice, and leather components gracefully forward.
