Vineyard and terroir
The best grapes are selected from favoured vineyards in the Tirano area.
Grapes
100% Nebbiolo. The grapes remain on the vine until overripe and are harvested two weeks after the ordinary harvest. Picking and sorting are carried out by hand.
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in modern stainless-steel fermenters. Vinification includes a three-day cold maceration and seven days on the skins. The wine is then transferred to French Allier-oak barriques for malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
Maturation begins with 12 months in French Allier-oak barriques and continues for 36 months in white-chestnut casks.
Tasting profile
Ruby red, with a delicate hazelnut bouquet and a light cocoa note. The palate is decisive and harmonious, with balanced tannic acidity. It is rich, austere and velvety, with the tannins supported by dense extractive fruit.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 18–20 °C. Pair with venison medallions and polenta.
