Producer’s notes
Vietti describes a ruby red wine with complex, elegant aromas of dried flowers, hay, rose petal and chamomile; fresh, balanced, silky and full on the palate, with tannins that are prominent yet integrated, and a long finish. The vineyard, one of the oldest in Barolo, faces south at about 330 metres, on soils with a high share of sand.
