Extended élevage shaping Nebbiolo into a deeper, more resolved expression of La Foia.

Structured

Complex

Resolute

Ageworthy

A mature and architecturally composed Barolo with heightened depth and tertiary nuance.

Nose: Dried rose, macerated cherry, and blood orange unfold into notes of leather, tobacco, tar, and sweet spice. Subtle balsamic and earthy tones add further dimension.
Palate: Full-bodied with integrated yet still commanding tannins. Red fruit has deepened into darker, more savoury tones, supported by vibrant acidity and layered spice. The structure remains firm, but more harmonised through extended ageing.
Finish: Long and expansive, with persistent floral echoes, earthy resonance, and a refined, gently austere close.
Serve: Cellar temperature, never warm. Open it an hour ahead and give it air; too warm and the alcohol takes over.

Deeper and more patient than La Foia: dark, earthy and spicy, with tannins that have had time to relax.

The best grapes of the best La Foia vintages, given more time: the patient version of Nadia's traditional Barolo.

Vines: 100% Nebbiolo, old vines of around 80 years.
Soils: Calcareous clay, lending structure, tension and longevity.
Farming: Sustainable viticulture with manual harvesting and rigorous selection.
Cellar: About 20 days of maceration, around three years in large casks, then more time in bottle before release.
Additions: Minimal sulphur.
