Tasting Notes
"Dark fruit, leather, tobacco and spice aromas lead the way on this elegantly structured red. On the palate, notes of cocoa, vanilla, anise and espresso accent a core of fleshy black cherry, while firm, fine-grained tannins provide support. A licorice note signals the close."

The Producer
Josetta Saffirio
Josetta Saffirio is situated in Monforte d'Alba, one of the eleven municipalities contributing to Barolo production. It occupies the scenic Castelletto hill, facing southeast, covering a total of 5 hectares of vineyards predominantly cultivated with Nebbiolo. These vineyards have been a part of the family for generations, initially selling the produce until the early 1980s. It was then that Josetta Saffirio, at the youthful age of 23, ventured into winemaking, personally bottling the estate's wine.
Her Barolo swiftly gained acclaim, both locally and internationally, marking a remarkable success story. In 1989 and 1990, Josetta Saffirio's Barolo was honored with Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso. In 1999, Joesetta's daughter, Sara, assumed control of the estate and implemented significant changes. She constructed a new winery harmoniously integrated into the rural landscape, insulating its perimeter with natural cork to mitigate heat. The entire winery operates on solar power, substantially reducing CO2 emissions.
Sara also dedicated 40% of the farmland to woods, aiming to further balance the carbon footprint, and embraced organic farming practices. In the cellar, the winemaking process is notably natural, utilizing only indigenous yeasts, minimal SO2, and abstaining from fining or filtration for the red wines.
