35 to 60 USD
Quality Assessment
91-93 points, representing an exceptional, premium-tier Riserva that offers outstanding value for traditional Barolo.
Production Methods
Traditional vinification with extended skin contact and maceration, followed by long-term aging in large oak barrels to allow complex structural integration.
Terroir
Composed of calcareous marl and sandstone soils from the rolling hills of the Langhe, benefiting from high diurnal temperature shifts that preserve acidity and aromatics.
History & Heritage
Terre da Vino is a prominent agricultural cooperative in Piedmont uniting hundreds of small local growers to showcase the classic expressions of Barolo, Barbaresco, and other regional gems.
Interesting Facts
Barolo is historically known as the 'Wine of Kings and the King of Wines', having been a favorite of the nobility of Turin and the House of Savoy in the 19th century.
Cellaring Potential
Excellent cellaring potential, ready to drink now after proper decanting, but will continue to evolve gracefully through 2035 and beyond.
