Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the Gaia Principe cru in Neive, a historically recognized site associated with high-quality fruit. The wine is presented as an elegant expression closely tied to this terroir.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested manually with selective picking, then crushed and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Skin maceration follows the traditional submerged-cap method.

Ageing

The wine matures for 26 months in total, including 9 months in large Slavonian oak casks. Further refinement takes place in bottle, with no duration specified.

Tasting profile

An elegant profile marked by cinnamon and pepper. Soft, silky tannins carry through the finish.

Serving and pairing

Pair with feathered game such as pheasant or quail, mature cheeses, and first courses served with richly flavored meat ragù. The stated cellar life is 10 years.
