Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards are scattered across Langhe and Roero, in Monforte, Monteu Roero and Priocca. The vines grow at 300–400 metres above sea level on south- and southeast-facing slopes.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed at the winery. The must macerates on the skins for around 10 days at a controlled temperature of 25–28 °C. Fermentation uses natural yeasts only.
Ageing
The wine ages for 12 months in small oak barrels, then a further 4 months in bottle in the winery's cellars before release.
Tasting profile
Fresh and lively.
Vintage notes
2019: Piedmont had a long winter and a late spring. High summer temperatures and good groundwater reserves in the soil led to rapid vegetative growth. A long, mild autumn helped the grapes ripen well, and they stayed very healthy throughout the growing cycle.
Label / history
"Sbardajà" comes from a Piedmontese dialect word meaning "scattered", a reference to the vineyards spread across Langhe and Roero.
