The 2010 Barolo Buon Padre is made from fruit from five separate vineyard sites: Bricco delle Viole, San Pietro, La Volta, Fossati, Alessandria and San Ponzio. Starting with the 2012 vintage, two more cru sites (Terlo and Ravera) will be added to the blend in various percentages. The color is bright and vibrant and the wine shows an immediate freshness and youthfulness that sets it apart from the preceding edition of the wine. Drink: 2015-2023.
