NOTES FROM OUR SOMMELIERS

👁 beautiful garnet red with orange hues;

👃🏻 the nose expresses intense and persistent aromas, with hints of violets, cherries, spices (cinnamon, cloves), vanilla and leather. The finish is ethereal;

👄 on the palate it is dry, warm, generously bodied, robust, rightly tannic but not austere, soft, balanced, with an intense and persistent finish characterized by sensations reminiscent of spicy notes.

 

FOOD PAIRING

This Barolo is an excellent wine with great persistence, complexity, and balance. It prefers intense and succulent dishes. It excellently accompanies roasts, braised meats, game and savory cheeses of Piedmontese cuisine. We particularly recommend it with a Barolo braised beef.

ORIGINS

TERROIR

The winery is located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, Unesco heritage since 2014. It is a land of ancient viticultural traditions, where wine was already known before the arrival of the Romans.
The Empire brought great contributions to viticulture, including the deforestation of a large part of the Langhe, at that time covered by thick woods.

Langhe are subdivided in Alta and Bassa Langa: the latter is located in the north between Tanaro and Belbo rivers and it is renowned all over the world for prestigious wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco as well as Pelaverga, Dolcetto d'Alba and Dogliani, Nebbiolo and Barbera.
Alta Langa is instead located to the south and has steeper hills which can reach 750 meters (750 feet); here are produced Alta Langa, Moscato and Barbera as well as the rare Timorasso.

In particular, Alta Langa, thanks to the cultivation of chardonnay and pinot noir, over the years has been able to give classic method and charmat sparkling wines renowned in the national and international panorama.
Soils in the Langhe area are composed by clayey-calcareous sedimentary marls, interspersed by layers of more or less important marls of grey-blue color, an important characteristic to produce both full bodied red wines and fresh and fragrant bubbles. The area of Langhe is characterized by a temperate continental climate, with the peak of rainfall generally fixed during the month of May.


CELLAR

The farm was founded in 1930 by Domenico Taliano, but has much deeper roots. Domenico in fact belongs to a family of farmers known in the village with the nickname "Re Cit" which means "little kings", they have always been dedicated to the work of vineyard and fields. Initially, the vineyards were all within the municipality of Montà, in the Bossola, Rolandi, and Benna areas; in the mid-1970s, under the leadership of his son Michele, the winery grew in the direction of the Langa, acquiring vineyards and a farmstead in Montersino in the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d'Elvio di Alba, between the municipalities of Treiso and Barbaresco.

Relaunching the winery in the mid-1990s by changing the methods of grape production and wine aging were Michele's sons: Alberto first and foremost, joined, after several work experiences, by his brother Ezio, the winery's winemaker.
The grape varieties grown are: nebbiolo, arneis, dolcetto and barbera.
A total of 15 hectares planted with vines and just 70,000 bottles per year: a family-run business with tailor-made production. Great attention to work in the vineyard, some good technical help in the cellar and time are the ingredients for a dozen very interesting labels.
They range from classic Roero and Alba grape varieties, namely Arneis, Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, to Favorita (or Vermentino as it is called in the Langhe), Muscat and Brachetto.
