ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
A blend by 2 vineyards, one in Bussia e one higher in Torricella. He’s called “Carlin” because Carlo was the first to age Nebbiolo in big Slavonian oak Barrels for 8 months and this became the tradition for this elegant wine. Structured, perfumed, rightly tannic but also delicate. Tre Pile vineyards are located next to Poderi Aldo Conterno vineyards.
