About this wine
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.
A powerful, structured red — decant at least an hour before drinking to let its complex aromas open up.
Sommelier's Note
"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."
Food Pairings
Pairs well with roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Also complements umami-rich dishes such as soy-glazed grilled eel or beef sukiyaki.
When to drink it
Formal dinners, special celebrations, or an evening with fellow wine enthusiasts.
