A young grower's bet on a classical Barolo cru. Lapo Berti planted his flag in La Morra in 2012, leasing parcels in three of the commune's most pedigreed MGAs - Fossati, Bricco Rocca, and Serradenari - and farming them himself. Fossati sits on the western side of La Morra, an east-facing site of sandy, iron-rich marl that has long been prized for its blend of finesse and weight. The 2021 vintage delivered a cool, classical growing season, the kind of year that rewards traditional handling with fragrance and tension. Berti's approach - organic farming, low yields, hands-off cellar work - lets the cru speak in its native dialect. This is Barolo for those who chase perfume over power.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pair with brasato al Barolo, agnolotti del plin in butter and sage, roasted guinea hen, braised short ribs with porcini, or a board of aged Castelmagno, hazelnuts, and walnuts. Worth a few hours in the carafe before pouring.

Tasting Profile

Pale ruby. Roses, wild strawberry, sour cherry, dried herb, sweet anise, and a dusting of pipe tobacco and tar. Medium-bodied with chalky, fine-grained tannins, brisk acidity, and a long, savory, perfumed finish that keeps unfolding.
