Sourced from the steep Brunate vineyard, it reflects both the elegance and structure that have made Barolo one of Italy’s most revered wines for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Barolo typically shows a deep garnet hue with bright ruby highlights at the rim. The bouquet is layered and compelling, often opening with red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and violets, before evolving into notes of spice, tar, leather, licorice, and earthy undertones.\n\nOn the palate, it is firm and finely etched, with vibrant acidity, polished tannins, and a long, savory finish. The wine’s concentration and structure suggest excellent aging potential, with the 2020 vintage likely to reward cellaring over the coming decade and beyond as it gains further complexity and silkiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrunate is one of the most prized vineyard sites in the Barolo zone, known for its exposed slopes and calcareous marl soils that lend both aromatic lift and firm structure to the wine.
