It stands out for its elegant profile, suited to long ageing over time. Careful management of extraction gives it superior complexity on the palate, highlighting the \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e that is the hallmark of this Barbaresco Riserva.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the \u003cstrong\u003eMeruzzano Mention\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the municipality of Treiso, following the natural slopes of the Rongalio vineyard. The historic vines rest at three hundred metres above sea level, enhanced by an excellent \u003cstrong\u003esouth-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e. To bring out the specific characteristics of each microzone, the bunches are harvested and processed in separate lots.
