Wine Spectator Top 100 BAROLO wine tasting, from 120 years old vines

Exclusive wine experience in the family's archive of old vintages

A family run winery, a Wine Spectator Top 100 BAROLO, perfect wine pairing lunch facing the vineyards.

Live a truly unique experience as “winemakers for a day” welcomed as if you were members of this family of winemakers for over 100 years. In one of the most incredible wine areas in the world (recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site) the doors of the family collection will be opened to you, you will taste limited editions not on sale in the rest of the world, you will follow a mini course on the Barolo Crus, you will enjoy the menu traditional Piedmontese cuisine excellence, designed for the perfect pairing with our Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines.

As the restaurant is immersed in ours vineyards we’re in perfect harmony with their philosophy: meat plays a large part, from Fassona (meat from a Piemontese breed of cattle), alongside the ubiquitous vitello tonnato (veal with tuna sauce) and Piedmontese steak tartare…all in perfect custom pairing with our Barolo!

The beloved guests of WFTI arrive at the winery and are welcomed by the owner (fifth generation of the family), who will accompany the guests for the entire duration of the visit and tasting.
After an introduction on the 100-year history of the family and the 5 generations, you will be accompanied to the historic cellar, dating back to the end of the 19th century. You’ll visit a part of the cellar (not accessible to other “common” tourists…) containing the family’s private collection, where you can admire, in addition to the large 3, 5 and 12 liter magnum formats, some the oldest bottles in Piedmont, dating back to 1932.

Lorenzo will then propose a mini course/tasting focused on the different Crus and different terroirs present in the Barolo area owned by the family.
The tasting will focus on the Barolo Crus and Barolo Riserva, our most exclusive and limited productions.

Guests will have the opportunity to taste the various Crus side by side, with a glass for each wine in order to be able to compare and better understand the various differences in soil composition, microclimate, exposure, altitude which will be illustrated during the course.

After tasting the current vintages, you will taste a bottle of a Barolo Cru from the 2016 vintage, with a special edition label dedicated to our 100th anniversary.
Then our special Barolo Riserva, produced exclusively in excellent years, around 3000 bottles from some of the oldest vines in Piedmont, 120 years old.
To conclude, a mini vertical of 2 historic vintages from the 90s from our private collection of one of our historic Crus is proposed. These bottles are no longer on the market.

To make this experience even more exclusive, the visit gives access to the possibility for guests to purchase a collector’s box containing our three Barolo Crus from the particular 2016 vintage with special edition labels dedicated to the 100th anniversary of our company.

To best complete the experience, WFTI guests will be taken to a famous restaurant in our vineyards, renowned both for its cuisine and its extensive wine list, to be able to pair our wines with typical Piedmontese dishes.

Barolo 2000*

The nose of this wine evokes crushed Nebbiolo, with hints of fresh flowers and Indian spices.
Full-bodied, with incredibly round, soft tannins. Long, velvety finish. Voluptuous.
This winery has come into its own.
Serve this to the nonbelievers.
Best after 2008. 1,040 cases made.
