Tasting Notes
This is the estate’s most traditional Barbaresco, sourced from the Vallegrande cru in Treiso, where vines planted in the late 1960s surround the winery at 400 metres on predominantly west-facing slopes. The site consistently yields fruit of great finesse, capturing the elegance that defines Barbaresco. In 2022 the grapes were fermented and macerated in steel for two weeks before being transferred to large seasoned oak, following the same ageing regime as the Autinbej Barbaresco. The result is a cuvée that expresses the classic style of the cru with poise and refinement. - Pete L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
