Understanding Azelia, Barolo, San Rocco, Piedmont
The San Rocco vineyard thrives in a perfect combination of calcareous and clay soils. The careful management of the vineyard ensures that the Nebbiolo grapes achieve optimal ripeness and concentration. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks before maturing for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Further refinement in the bottle allows the wine to develop additional complexity and finesse. This meticulous process produces a Barolo of extraordinary depth, vibrancy, and true terroir expression.
