About the wine

The classic Barolo of a royal winery, blending Nebbiolo from Serralunga d’Alba and the commune of Barolo. Vanilla, spice, pepper, red fruit, rose and wet leaves rise in layers, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Made in the traditional way, it shows the classic, elegant essence of Barolo.
