(2024) A traditional Barolo that spent three years ageing in large oak casks, then six months in bottle, before release. Medium-pale in colour and density, the nose has an attractive perfume with small floral notes over tobbaco spice and chestnut. The palate has good fruit, but it stays in a very savoury spectrum, tannins quite chewy and dense, a twist of bittersweet acidity, and lively length balancing raspberry bright fruit and a darker liquorice stripe.

(2024) A selection Dolcetto grown within the two Barolo appellation vineyards, Coste and Fossati. The family specifically chose plants that had red stems, so even the stems where full of polyphenols. Briar and cherry are the driving notes from a wine with long skin contact but gentle extraction with the cap not submerged, made in stainless steel. There is an intensity to the palate, the concentration of the fruit, acid and the tannin gives a spicy grip in the mouth. There is lovely freshness here in a dry wine that has a juiciness, then ends with a lightly chalky tannin. Though Giuseppe believes this ages nicely for a few years, he stresses that it is not meant to be a Barolo, it is ready to drink.
