Hailing from Cannubi, the most prestigious cru in Barolo, this wine is crafted from hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes grown on sandy clay-limestone soils, which enhance its elegance and complexity. Aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by additional bottle aging, this Barolo delivers exceptional depth, balance, and long-term aging potential.
