Right in line with the Benevelli style: smoky fruit, hints of herbs and forest floor, and firm structure.

La Tartufaia is a divinely atmospheric truffle forest in the heart of La Morra where Giulia’s vineyards run parallel. The wines produced here, from clay-rich soil, are textbook examples of classically structured Barolo typical of the area.

Guido Porro
Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
A good rule of thumb for opening Barolo, as we often say here, is seven to ten years from vintage date. Therefore, Guido’s 2014 Vigna Santa Caterina is ready to captivate you with its glamour today.
