- TASTING NOTE: "Balsamic aromas of camphor and leather mingle earthy whiffs of forest floor, violet and wild berry. Savory, focused and youthfully firm, the palate delivers crushed raspberry, star anise and baking spice framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2027–2039." 95 Points - Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

Nowadays, the estate encompasses 50 hectares, of which 10 hectares are devoted to hazelnuts, 10 are forested or lie fallow and 30 hectares are given over to Nebbiolo and Barbaresco, along with Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Sauvignon Blanc and white Moscato vines.
