Sourced from the estate's lower-altitude parcels within the Rive (La Morra) and Rocche dei Rivera (Castiglione Falletto) crus, this is effectively declassified Barolo fruit. A briefer maceration than the Barolo bottlings emphasises freshness and perfume over structure, and ageing takes place in large oak botti. The result is fine-grained tannins and real length, with aromas of rose, herbal spice and ripe strawberry.
