The wine estate stands on the slopes of the San Biagio hill in La Morra, one of the 11 villages forming the area where Barolo wine is produced. The farm stretches out over 18 hectares (45 acres) and has belonged to the Roggero family for generations. Surrounded by splendid vineyards, it enjoys a spectacular panorama opening out onto the Langhe, a range of hills packed with history and castles.
Vinification: the maceration on the skins lasts around 20 days, in heat-conditioned steel tanks. Frequent, gentle breaking up of the cap during this time extracts all the polyphenol and aromatic substances, especially the fruity components.
Maturing: in 225-litre barrels for around 30 months, followed by 10 further months in the bottle.
bright, deep ruby red,complex, showing intense ripe fruit, as well as underbrush, mineral, and floral - rose and violet - overtones. Silky, with menthol tones, black berries and interesting mineral sensations showing on the palate. Slight streak of licorice on the finish.
