Winemaking: The grapes are selected from the historical cru Brunate, located in La Morra, planted 4,500 plants per hectare. The vines are 40 years old and grown using the Guyot system. Grapes are gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel for 14 days at 30-32° C (86-90°F), with pumping of the juice over grape skins done by both machine and hand, followed by malolactic fermentation. Brunate in La Morra is one of the most famous “crus” of all Barolo area; this vintage is particularly interesting because it’s very easy to recognize the “terroir” in the wine.
