Vineyard and terroir

Nebbiolo comes from 1.40 ha in the San Rocco vineyards in Alba.

Grapes

Vinification

Whole clusters are pressed in a pneumatic press with protection from oxidation. After a few hours of skin contact, the free-run must ferments in stainless-steel vats at 16°C. The base wine remains in stainless steel for at least six months. Tirage takes place in April following the harvest, initiating the second fermentation in bottle by the Metodo Classico process.

Ageing

The wine ages in bottle for 18 months before disgorgement.

Label / history

Nebbiolo was historically adapted to sparkling production when long maturation of austere red wines was difficult. The San Rocco interpretation is dry and decisive, using Metodo Classico to express Nebbiolo as a structured rosé sparkling wine.
