This wine comes from the Barolo region, which is known for producing some of the finest wines in Italy. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Ginestra vineyard, which is known for its unique soil composition and ideal growing conditions. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including extended maceration and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic Barolo, with a deep ruby color, complex aromas of red fruit, spices, and earthy notes, and a full-bodied, tannic structure that will age gracefully for years to come.
