STYLE

This wine comes from Vigna Regnola, one of the sixties officially recognized vineyards in the Barolo DOCG. It is located within Badarina MGA in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba, a beautiful amphitheatre with South and South-East aspect. Vigna Regnola is at its heart and has always been planted with Nebbiolo to represent its strong vocation for this variety. It is always vinified separately from the rest of Badarina MGA. The result is a wine of great elegance and volume that is only released pure in the best vintages whilst the rest is always blended in our Barolo Badarina.
