Tasting note
This Barolo, powerful and full of personality, offers roses, dark fruits and sweet cherries, in exchange for undivided attention.
In the press
Plenty of red fruit and tar here with bark and mushroom as well. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and polished on the palate. Tight finish. Tar and burnt citrus to the fruit in the aftertaste. One of the best wines from here in years, this needs some bottle age to open and soften. Try after 2026.
Viticulture
In the village of Monforte d'Alba the cru Mosconi the nebbiolo vines are planted on a mixture of sand, silt and clay. The exposure is south facing and the altitude is 360 to 380 m above sea level. The cultivation technique is guyot with a density of 4500/5000 vines per hectare.
Vinification
Maceration on the skins in rotating paddle fermenters for approx. 18 days. The wine is matured for 24 months in French oak barriques (225 Lt) of which 50% is new, followed by 12 months in the bottle.
Food Match
Will pair nicely with tomato based sauces and red meats.
