We are a winery surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of the Langhe district, one of the most renowned vine growing areas of the world. However, we are more than just that, we are an agricultural firm without peer in our region. We encompass over 5,000 hectares of vineyards cultivated by over 2,500 growers who are organized in 14 collective wineries. This gives us a unique basis of immense proportions which allows us to produce at a very high quality level that often reaches the peaks of excellence. We offer a vast range of wines, spanning from those names known throughout the world to small locally known niche products. What unites the range is our driving philosophy: "only wines from Piedmont and only wines that have the appellation disciplined by DOC or DOCG regulation".

We are based in our winery in Barolo, which symbolizes a firm that is in tune with the times and that invests in the future. A firm that expresses passion for an ancient craft that is in continual evolution.





 
The work that leads to the production of a wine of excellence starts in the vineyard. By programming low yields per hectare we obtain grapes that are riper, richer in sugar levels, concentration, extract and all those substances that translate into the pleasant mouth feel of ripe fruit.

So as to carry out this task, our agronomists work with grape growers following a rigorous protocol: the selection of vineyards with privileged aspect and exposure; severe pruning and canopy management; bunch protection; and above all, green harvesting so that the remaining bunches reach complete maturation.

Winemaking follows in our cellars under the guidance of expert oenologists.



Grapes from the largest producer members are vinified separately and the name of the original producer appears on the label. The grapes from the small producers and particular lots are blended. In this case the labels contain the titles of works by famous local authors such as Cesare Pavese and Beppe Fenoglio. Authors whose works speak about the lands which produce our wines.




















 

The wines:


Barolo DOCG Essenze


Grape variety:
100% Nebbiolo
Yield:
40 hl
Alcohol:
14.0% vol.
Serving temperature:
18 - 20° C
Vineyard location and profile: Barolo DOCG Essenze is a Barolo blend of the finest pedigree. It is the unique balance given by selected small lots of cru-grown Barolos from prestigious vineyards: La Volta in Barolo, Ravera in Novello, Montanello and Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto, Bussia in Monforte, and Annunziata in La Morra.

Winemaking and ageing: Following the traditional local winemaking practice of blending together various separate lots to compose a Barolo, we achieved a Barolo of superb quality. Despite utilising traditional winemaking practices, our house style is evident, which emphasises full-bodied wines with emphatic fruit, and optimal equilibrium among all components as well.
After maceration on the skins for some 25 days, malolactic fermentation was completed in steel, and the wine then matured in oak for 24 months.
