Barolo d.o.c.g. Riserva Millenovecento48

The Millenovecento48 Barolo comes from a vineyard planted in 1948, just after the war, on rootstock Rupestris. Since 2007, after several years, we have chosen a separate wine-making, because we understand the great potential especially related to old age of the plants: roots that draw in depth and very low yields. From this vineyard we obtain about 1000 bottles, vinified trying to completely give way to the expression of the fruit itself.
