The Territory

The Barbaresco DOCG production area is one of the most prestigious and geographically defined in Italy, situated in the north-eastern part of the Langhe, within the municipalities of Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso, and in a small portion of the municipality of Alba, specifically the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. The appellation covers a very limited total area under vine (around 800 hectares) and is divided into 66 Additional Geographical Mentions (MGAs), which identify the individual crus and the most highly regarded historic sub-zones. The predominance in the soil of the so-called Sant’Agata Fossili marls – calcareous clay formations rich in marine fossils and sand – give rise to wines with pronounced elegance, aromatic finesse and a dense tannic structure.

La Morra – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 2024, 2025

The Territory

La Morra is the largest and most productive municipality in the entire Barolo DOCG appellation. Situated on the western slope of the production area, its hills are characterised by high altitudes (up to 500 metres) with soils that are geologically younger than those on the eastern side. The soil consists mainly of Sant’Agata Fossili marls, a mixture of blue clays, limestone, and a high proportion of silt and fine sand. This softness of these soils is directly reflected in the wine’s delicacy and softer, less angular character, resulting in a Barolo that represents the ultimate expression of elegance, immediacy and aromatic finesse, enjoyable from a young age, while also offering excellent ageing potential.

Serralunga d’Alba – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 2010, 2014, 2025

The Territory

The municipality of Serralunga d’Alba occupies almost the entire eastern slope of the Barolo DOCG appellation and is universally renowned for producing the most austere, monumental and long-lived wines in the entire region. Serralunga Barolo comes from vineyards growing on the Lequio Formation, one of the oldest and most compact geological formations in the Langa. The soil consists of a strict alternation of grey calcareous clay marls and layers of sandstone-derived sands, exceptionally rich in iron and minerals. These soils produce wines of exceptional longevity. In their youth, they are proud and tightly wound, but with bottle, they develop a regal elegance. On the nose, this wine reveals deep, dark notes of liquorice, tobacco and undergrowth, along with a distinctive sanguine and mineral note (graphite). On the palate, it is warm and deep, underpinned by a linear and powerful tannic structure that assures this wine’s capacity to age for decades. This is where legendary crus such as Vigna Rionda, Francia, Lazzarito and Cerretta are born.

Barolo – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 1996, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2025

The Territory

Barolo is the municipality at the heart of the appellation, not only because it lends its name to it but also for historical reasons and for the many local wineries that have contributed to this wine’s success. It was thanks to the Marquises Juliette and Tancredi Falletti that the wine of Barolo began to gain renown. The Barolo produced within this municipality represents the archetype and perfect synthesis of the entire appellation, occupying a stylistic position precisely midway between the elegance of La Morra and the power of Serralunga. Its secret lies in a transitional soil, where the sandy Marls of Sant’Agata meet the compact Sandstone of Diano. The resulting wine shines with an innate harmony: a classic bouquet of dried roses, small red fruits, tobacco and undergrowth, paired with an enveloping structure and a dense yet velvety tannic texture. It is here that legendary and immortal crus such as Cannubi, Castellero and Sarmassa are born.

Monforte d’Alba – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 2010, 2011, 2012, 2025

The Territory

Monforte d’Alba is one of the most historic and, in terms of production, one of the most significant municipalities within the entire Barolo DOCG appellation, situated on the extreme south-eastern edge of the production area. Its vineyards lie on the area’s oldest geological formations (the Elvezian or Lequio Formation). The soils consist of very compact calcareous clay marls, rich in sandstone-derived sands and iron. This soil composition, combined with high altitudes that often exceed 400 metres, gives the wines a unique structural solidity and pronounced acidity. This full-bodied Barolo embodies the highest expression of this wine’s power, structure and extraordinary longevity; it is dense and austere, particularly in its youth. On the nose, it offers deep, dark aromas of morello cherry, tar, liquorice, tobacco and leather. On the palate, it is characterised by a vigorous body, a very high extract and a dense, rigorous tannic structure, which requires several years of bottle ageing to soften and reveal its regal complexity.

Verduno – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 2025

Novello – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 2025

The Territory

The municipalities of Verduno and Novello are situated at the two opposite geographical ends (to the north and south-west respectively) of the Barolo DOCG area. Both are renowned for producing Barolos characterised by elegance and expressive finesse, yet with profoundly different aromatic and structural nuances. Verduno, situated on the northernmost edge of the appellation, is influenced by the River Tanaro, with soils characterised by calcareous clay marls, veined with gypsum, which give rise to harmonious wines with very pronounced spicy notes, complemented by floral and balsamic notes. Novello, on the other hand, is situated in the south-western part of the area, perched on a rocky outcrop between the municipalities of Barolo and Monforte d’Alba. Its hills are characterised by notable elevations and soils of marine sedimentary origin – calcareous and clayey – with a notable presence of heavy clays and layers of sand, which give the wines extraordinary ageing potential. Unlike Verduno, Barolo from Novello displays a more solid and substantial structure, underpinned by a lively freshness and a tannic texture that is distinct yet perfectly integrated. The bouquet is deep and evolves over time, starting with aromas of small red fruits and developing into elegant notes of tobacco, liquorice, menthol nuances and traces of citrus

Castiglione Falletto – Barolo DOCG – Vintage 2004, 2013, 2025

The Territory

The Barolo from the municipality of Castiglione Falletto represents the ideal and expressive embodiment of the Barolo DOCG appellation as a whole. Situated in a central geographical position within the production area, the terroir of this municipality combines the distinctive characteristics of the two main slopes of the Langa, uniting the aromatic finesse, floral aromas and freshness typical of the western slope (La Morra and Barolo) with the rigorous structure, longevity, and tannic richness of the eastern slope (Serralunga d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba). The vineyards are situated on hills with a remarkable concentration of ideal slopes and optimal exposures. The soil consists of calcareous clay marls interspersed with a significant proportion of sand, which lightens the soil and gives the Nebbiolo aristocratic tannins that are dense yet velvety. The municipality is home to some of the most celebrated and historic MGAs (Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive, Additional Geographical Mentions) in the appellation, including Villero, Bricco Boschis and Fiasco.
