From the marriage of the Queen and King of the Langhe, Barbera and Nebbiolo, comes Lautus, a wine of extreme finesse and nobility, destined for a long life. Lautus, from the Latin “elegant, distinguished,” embodies the best characteristics of the two grape varieties that make it up: the intense ruby and softness of Barbera are complemented by the austere and tannic trait of Nebbiolo, to give it structure and longevity. Lautus is the expression of two opposite characters that meet and complement each other in a relationship of perfect balance.

Grown in the vineyards of Cascina Valmenera, the heart of our estate. We call them “our stairway to heaven”, to quote Led Zeppelin, because the rows are laid out in an amphitheatre that seems to climb up into the sky. They were planted at the end of the Nineties and enjoy south-westerly exposure. Here, in the sandy marl of what was once a seabed, Nebbiolo is able to fully express elegance and vigour. Ruby red: fine and delicate bouquet with scents of rose and violet, wild strawberry and raspberry; dry, harmonious and nicely persistent

7000 bottles produced. Old vines, 60-70 years old; submerged cap fermentation in steel with maceration on the skins for about 4-5 weeks, then 18 months ageing in large barrels to obtain the spearhead of the cellar. A ready and enveloping wine like the freshness of the summer wind, changes in the glass; to follow in its evolution. Textural and complex, a wine with character. Withered flowers, ripe raspberries and lots of blueberries. Delicate tannins and tension in the mouth, elegant and well supported.

This vineyard in the commune of La Morra lies at an altitude of 370 to 450 metres above sea level. It produces fruity, elegant Barolo wines. The grapes grown in this vineyard contribute to the production of Barolo Docg Castagni. Garnet red with orange highlights. Spicy bouquet with notes of red fruits. Sapid and persistent on the palate.

Barolo pedigree without the price From iconic Barolo producer Vietti, Perbacco is crafted from the same Nebbiolo grapes as their Barolo DOCG, but bottled under Langhe DOC with shorter ageing. The result? Perfumed red fruits, fine tannins and classic Nebbiolo structure — Barolo quality without the wait or the price tag.
