Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Nebbiolo comes from selected parcels covering 3 hectares in the Castelletto cru at Monforte d’Alba. The north-east-facing vineyards lie at 330–350 m above sea level. Their young, shallow soils originated from marine sediments of the Serravallian-period Lequio Formation, approximately 12 million years old, and combine calcareous material with silt, clay and abundant sand. The vines are approximately 20 years old.
Grapes

Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in October. Fermentation and maceration take place on the skins in rotary fermenters for approximately 7–8 days, with temperature controlled between 25 and 30°C.
Ageing
The wine matures exclusively in stainless-steel tanks for 12 months.
Tasting profile
Garnet red in colour, with a floral and fruity bouquet. The palate is fresh and elegant, with present, fine tannins and the classic freshness associated with the wine’s style.
