Fratelli Barale is a classic family business in the heart of Barolo, with a history dating back to 1870. For generations, the family has worked with the same dedication to their land and the Nebbiolo grape, today led by Sergio Barale and his daughters Eleonora and Gloria.<!--en-->The vineyards are located in renowned crus such as Castellero, Cannubi, Bussia, and Costa di Rose.

Originating from Cannubi in Barolo, one of the most renowned MGAs in the area. The southeastern exposure and calcareous, fossil-rich soil give the Nebbiolo elegance, freshness, and a refined structure.

Traditionally made with spontaneous fermentation and approximately 30 days of maceration in large wooden vats. The wine is then aged for three years in medium-sized French oak barrels, followed by at least 12 months of bottle aging. This long maturation ensures harmony and complexity.

The 2015 has now developed beautifully, combining ripe fruit with fresh acidity and refined tannins. Attractive to drink now, but it can develop further. Can be cellared until approximately 2035–2040.
