Location: La Morra, a commune famous for making the archetypal Barolo, is located in the Province of Cuneo in the Italian region of Piedmont.
Agriculture: The fruit (100% Nebbiolo) comes from MGA blocks in La Morra. The soils are composed of 25% sand and 39% clay, and are dominated by the various expressions of Sant’Agata Fossili Marls. The grapes are farmed organically, yields are low, the vines are 20-60 years old, and the elevation is 513 meters. Conditions were ideal throughout the entire growing season, with a long, slow ripening period.
Total Production: About 1800 bottles
Tasting Notes: 2020 is a stunning vintage, producing excellent quality Barolos with ripeness that matches 2015s but firmer tannin and higher acidity. It offers a lifted, perfumed nose with gentle red fruit tones and a particularly flowery bouquet. Nice tension and well integrated tannins on the palate. Dry rose, spice box, red fruit. Cherry, raspberry, anise, leather and forest floor. Gloriously long finish.
