wine description

This Barolo comes from the Bricco Boschis Cru, more precisely from the Colle Sud Ovest vineyard, the Punta Marcello vineyard and the San Giuseppe vineyard, with South-East, South and South-West views; the vines are trained in classic Guyot. The vinification is activated by natural yeasts, a semi-submerged cap maceration is carried out for 30 days and a traditional aging in Slavonian oak barrels for 42 months. Before being marketed, it rests in glass for a year.
