Winemaker Notes
This wine is a youthful expression of the Nebbiolo grape, made from a portion of the younger vines in the winery's estate in Monforte d'Alba. The unique characteristics of this parcel are best expressed by aging the wine for one year in small oak barrels. The result is a kinder and more delicate wine, which is a perfect balance between elegance and structure.

The winery vinifies only the grapes provided by the estate vineyards, about 2 1/2 hectates, situated in some of best zones of the Barolo area: 2 hectares in locality Cannubi and Cannubi San Lorenzo, the rest in locality Via Nuova (Collina Terlo); the zone most known per the grape Nebbiolo that becomes Barolo.
As a top producer, Chiara Boschis, is always seeking to produce high quality and innovative wines that are elegantly balanced wines along with traditional structure and austerity. To further this effort she started to vinify separately the vineyards, Cannubi and Vian Nuova, to best show their individual characteristics.
