Tasting Notes
From a southeast-facing parcel in the Fossati cru of La Morra, planted on limestone and clay at around 450 m altitude, this Barolo offers lifted aromas of red cherry, rose petal and raspberry, layered with spice, licorice and a faint mineral edge. The palate is poised and finely structured, with juicy red fruit wrapped in firm yet elegant tannins and carried by bright acidity. A subtle savoury depth emerges with air, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. This is a precise, graceful Barolo that captures the perfume and finesse of Fossati while showing the thoughtful, restrained style of the Vaira brothers. - Chris 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.
