Description
Ancient art. Barolo LE VIGNE interprets the tradition of the Langhe and Barolo by handing down the ancient and skilful art of blending grapes from several vineyards. We have revived this historic custom by working only with indigenous yeasts and keeping the grapes separate until blending, instead of blending them already during fermentation. Symphony of a territory. Barolo LE VIGNE encapsulates the characteristics of each vineyard: all different but each peculiar. At its birth, thanks to the art of blending, the vineyards of Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello were united. In 2010, the project was expanded to include Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, followed in 2011 by Villero in Castiglione Falletto. The 2019 vintage sees LE VIGNE completed with Le Coste di Monforte in Monforte d'Alba. The five vineyards that now make up Barolo LE VIGNE are different in terms of exposure, position, genetic heritage, altitude and soil types, and are united through the art of blending, giving shape to a single voice, capable of narrating the entire Barolo territory. Every year a discovery. Harvested, vinified and aged separately, we combine in the blend the lots capable of expressing the uniqueness of the vineyards and exalting the particularities of each vintage. Only after years of slow and silent evolution do we know that Nebbiolo gives its best characters. Our Barolo LE VIGNE is also one of the protagonists of the "sibi et paucis" project.
