Alberto is justifiably proud of his Langhe. All the Nebbiolo is sourced from his family's vineyard in La Morra. Fine and exuberant, this is well balanced with notes of strawberry, raspberry and watermelon. Bright with a hint of orange rind and violets, it

Sourced almost entirely from the Contrada Roggeri vineyard with the remaining from Betolotti and San Biagaio, the Crissante Comune is the estate's flagship wine. Red fruits abound! Cherries, strawberry, even raspberry are followed by mint, dried apricot and cinnamon. Elegant with an excellent core of ripe fruit and chalky tannins, this is a seductive, expressive Barolo.

Sourced from Pisapola, Neirane, Boscato vineyards this is bright and crystalline, with raspberry, rose, and floral notes, very pretty. This was a great vintage for fruity wines, warm, dry, healthy, no 'shock' or scorching, giving lovely ripeness of fruit. 7-8 days maceration with very gentle extraction (bagnatura), 5-6 months in botte grandi then into stainless steel before bottling. Very juicy and elegant, with good acidity, spine, and poise.

The estates flagship Barolo is a blend five vineyards, Rocche dell'Olmo, Boscatto, Riva Rocca, Campasso and Pisapola and spends over thirty months in botte grande. With, enticing aromas of bright violet, rosehip and blood orange and hints of cold tea & camphor this a focused, bright and well balanced Verduno. The palate is alive with fragolino (wild strawberry), well-proportioned and a little rounder than the 2019, this another excellent effort.

The Gramolere vineyard is made up fine stone soil, located at a higher altitude than the Verduno and harvested a week later. The 2020 is more concentrated than 2019, displaying signature, expressive burnt orange skin fruit character. Translucent, notably racy & detailed with wild herbs, orange skin, rose, that sense of elevation and freshness, skeletal with classic fruit tannins and structure. Very good.

A beautiful bright ruby appearance with a touch of orange to the rim. Ripe but understated nose, a pretty mix of cherry fruits, coal, and soft woody spices. On the light side of medium bodied, supple, elegant and juicy, with a light chew and attractive flavours of red summer fruits, cooked plum, orange rind, and tea. Shows lovely balance and offers a moreish savoury streak, this will drink well over the short to medium term.

Standing on Cannubi, looking North-West towards La Morra, you'll see at the base of the hill, the vineyard of Albarella. Noted for its power, there's evident wild strawberry and blacker fruit, also a hint of wild herb and savoury notes on the mid-palate. Ample with rounded tannins, fresh acidity and a long length, it's simply delicious.
