The vineyards are located at about two hundred and fifty metres above sea level, with perfect south-west exposure that promotes the optimal ripening of the grapes.

The wine then rests for eighteen to twenty months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, completing its development with targeted \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e before being released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of the Maccario family's passion since 1997, \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Cannubi DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e expresses the authentic viticultural vocation of Piedmont.
