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.
A very intense, bright garnet red, tending to more mature shades on ageing. The nose is complex, with floral notes and black-berried fruit, including ripe blackberry. Spicy aromas - especially tobacco - follow, along with underbrush and tar: lingering tertiary aromas tending to the ethereal.
The qualities provided by the soil in Serralunga d'Alba show through quite clearly on the palate, with appealing full flavour, a well-balanced structure, and balsamic notes that merge beautifully with the sweetness of the tannins. Nice hints of licorice, tobacco and tar on the finish.
After the vinification, the wine matures in the same 10,000-litre vats for around 30 months, followed by a further period of 12 months in the bottle. During this ageing there is a clear-cut evolution of the tertiary aromas.
