Nebbiolo from a small parcel his family planted around fifty years ago in one of Barbaresco’s most famous crus, Roncagliette. The site is blessed with a southern exposure and the firm clay-limestone soils lend power and finesse. This is macerated on the skins for two months before being pressed off to old botti for two years of ageing. A warmer year has produced a compact, powerful yet elegant wine that no doubt has a long life ahead.
