(2025) From the vineyard closest to the winery that was their original vineyard. Colour is already quite a lot softer than the 2023 Langhe, a little amber on the rim. The real Barolo fragrance is already evident here. The 'tar and roses' cliché writ large, with quite plush cherry fruit and gentle spice and earthiness. The palate is beginning to ease from its very firm tannins, showing some juiciness of tart red fruits. The finish shows firm acids and plenty of spicy clove, in a wine that will need another few years to show its best, but is of fine quality.
