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.

A vineyard of exceptional value nestled in one of the finest areas of the administrative division of Perno in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba.

Review
Good depth of colour with a nice tinge of purple; dry earth/terracotta and fragrant herbs, traces of dark cherry and violet, a superb nose that evolved constantly all the time the wine was in the glass. It opened with some reduction which quickly blew off. A full-bodied and generous wine, ample in flavour and structure, with broad shoulders and almost chunky shape, the finish very long, firm and satisfying.

Tasting Profile
palate

Bouquet always very rich, intense and lingering. Sensations of great vinosity trade-off with notes of ripe fruit, hardwood, spices and licorice. Great inner-mouth warmth; acidity and tannicity always stand out but tend towards sweet. Very long, lingering aromatic finish. It is a wine with great ageing prospects.
