A single-vineyard Barolo DOCG from the Moriondino subzone (MGA Moriondino) in Castiglione Falletto, made from 100% Nebbiolo. The Moriondino plots sit along the border with Bussia di Monforte, on Langhiano soil that gives structured, long-lived wines with dried rose, red berry, and earthy character.
The Moriondino plots border Bussia di Monforte, giving this bottling a touch more earthiness and structure than the Rocche di Castiglione cru — a fascinating side-by-side comparison for Nebbiolo lovers.
