Description

Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology.

One of the most well-known and coveted vineyards planted in the municipality of Verduno. Due to its special microclimate, from researchers to experts, this historic vineyard has been considered a grand cru, among the best vineyard terrains in the area.

Review
Light brick-red with a trace of purple, looking slightly forward; the bouquet is subdued and savoury, with a faint hint of mustiness and a lot of earthy, brick-dust touches. No sign of TCA on the palate: the wine is supple and rounded, with good depth and balance. Ther tannins are tightly focused, fine and drying. It's very good, if a bit shy today, and other bottles may be even better.

Tasting Profile
palate

The bouquet is rich, spacious and quite lingering. It recalls fresh fruit, small fruit in particular, inner-mouth spiciness, mountain hay and autumn leaves. Excellent structure; tannins and acids very nicely in step. It is a wine worthy of the fame it has always enjoyed
