RISERVA 2003
It comes from all the estate’s vineyards, five of the best Crus in Barolo area:
Liste, Cannubi, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Fossati and San Pietro delle Viole.
The first one, was born 11 million years ago from soil erosion, is composed
by a completeness of micro and macro elements that combined together
give to the wine peculiar characteristics of complexity and longevity.
Cannubi and Cannubi San Lorenzo were born 12 million years ago from
the sedimentation of the sea that occupied the Plain of the Po river, is the
most famous and vocated Barolo Cru. They have an amazing complexity
of terroir, formed by marly-calcareous soil and a very favorable climate
and they give origin to wines with distinguished characters of elegance and
longevity. Fossati vineyard was born about 10 million years ago from the
sedimentation of the sea that occupied the Plain of the Po river after the
push of the African continent against Italian peninsula. Since this vineyard
has a relatively young terroir, it is composed by a good percentage of sand
and its wines have great floral and red fruits fragrances. San Pietro delle
Viole was born 9/10 million years ago and it is the youngest Borgogno
vineyard. As its name explain, San Pietro delle Viole, the Barolo has
fragrant bouquet, recalling violets notes, always soft and open.
