The Pora vineyard is arguably one of the key historic vineyards of Barbaresco: it was part of the property of Domizio Cavazza, “The Father of Barolo”. Prior to Cavazza’s involvement in the region, Barbaresco was generally considered the “poor brother” of Barolo. The Pora vineyard sustains a unique microclimate due to its proximity to the Tanaro River. The vineyard is situated on a beautiful hill with south and west exposures. Because it sits relatively close to the valley floor, Pora is relatively warm in the early morning hours, then breezy with slightly higher humidity through the afternoon. Soil fertility is slightly higher here on the plain, and this creates a wine of gentle character, with soft tannins and a youthful, fruit-forward nose.
