The Vigna La Rosa Barolo is harmonious, well-rounded and elegant in taste; its very fine and delicate bouquet is reminiscent of faded roses and, with the ageing process, tends to acquire a pronounced earthy style but with a velvety sort of taste.
Vinification Note:

Soil: The characteristics of the land are steep slopes with calcareous deposits.
Grape Variety: Nebbiolo (Lampia, Michet)
Method of Pruning: Guyot system
