Great care and attention for the choice of wood, as for every stage of production, to obtain a Barolo that shows off a rich and complex aromatic range, with hints of raspberries and watermelon, berries, rose hips and even tobacco, cinchona and balsamic herbs. Harmonious and rich, perfectly balanced in the structure between tannic vehemence and expressive momentum, with a very long and very elegant echo.
