✨ Technical Specifications

Roberto Sarotto's Barolo originates from the fog-draped hills of the Langhe subregion in Piemonte, Italy. Crafted exclusively from the thick-skinned Nebbiolo grape grown in ancient, marine-derived calcareous marl soils, this classic red wine undergoes extended fermentation to extract vibrant phenolics before traditional oak aging. The Sarotto family emphasizes pure, terroir-driven viticulture in Neviglie, yielding a Barolo known for its perfumed floral aromas, firm architectural tannic backbone, and vibrant acidity that allows it to mature gracefully over many years.
