Barolo Gabutti Cru

Rich Heritage and Distinctive Terroir

The Gabutti area within Serralunga d’Alba stands out as one of the most esteemed cru vineyards in Barolo, celebrated for its unique microclimate and geology that profoundly influence the character of its Nebbiolo grapes. 

This area is particularly known for its highly calcareous soil and optimal southeast exposure, ensuring excellent sunlight absorption, crucial for the cultivation of Nebbiolo. 

The steep slopes of the vineyard aid in drainage, helping create a microclimate that is highly favorable for producing the intense and structured Barolo Gabutti wines, renowned for their depth and longevity.

Viticulture and Vinification

Gabutti’s vineyards are meticulously cared for, with a planting density that ensures each vine receives the right amount of nutrients and sunlight, enhancing the quality of the Nebbiolo grapes. 

The age of the vines, often between 35 and 50 years, contributes to the complexity and intensity of the wine. Traditional winemaking techniques are employed, including long maceration periods and aging in large Slavonian oak barrels, which imbue the wine with distinctive flavors and aromas of fresh fruit, floral notes, and sweet spices.
