Barolo, Massara,

A south-east facing vineyard from Verduno, a commune where there is less calcium in the soils, producing softer wines. The area is also influenced by the closer proximity to the river where there are big day/night temperature differences that help build up aroma in the wines. Aged for three years in large slavonian oak casks. Open approachable aromatics, floral ripe fruits backed up on the palate with a steadying tannic structure. Notes of rose, violet cherry and strawberry with touches of truffle and herb. Fruity and forward, a Barolo veering towards Barbaresco in style.
