The fruit for this flagship Riserva derives from the small sub-terroir of the Bricco Boschis known as Vigna San Giuseppe. A steep slope that sits behind the cantina, this 2.38-hectare parcel has long been considered the sweet spot for this vineyard, consistently delivering one of the greatest Barolos of the region.
Here you get the best of everything: altitude (but not too much); excellent drainage (but enough water retention thanks to the limestone and clay, ensuring the vines don’t stress in dry conditions); and a complex mixture of soils, including blue tinted clays (for power), limestone (freshness and mineral drive) and sand (prettiness and perfume). Add to this the sixty-year-old vines, quality clonal material and southwest exposure, and the stars are aligned to produce something great. '
The 2016 saw 28 days on skins followed by five years in large cask. It’s a powerful yet classic Barolo that needs time to blossom—but greatness is guaranteed.
