Winemaker's Notes:

The philosophy of our Barolo Brunate is rigorously traditional, with fairly lengthy macerations followed by long maturations of about three years in 30 or 50-hectolitre oak Slavonian barrels and 12 months' bottle-ageing before release. It can be enjoyed after a few months in the bottle, but will continue improving and developing its elegance during the years... it is the true jewel of Italian and International enology.

Ruby red, very intensive red
