Overview

Bruno is a modernist, which is to say that he makes modern styled Barbaresco. He has experimented extensively with French oak and has perfected a balance, which promotes that fine aromatics of wines from this zone. He is now using more botte in his barrel mix. His wines possess intense complexity and aromatics resulting in wines with ultra refined elegance. Rabajolo is a wine of great elegance and harmony. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo fruit comes from Rabaja and the Barbera comes from vineyards in Neive.
