About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the family's younger Nebbiolo vineyards distributed across Barbaresco and Neive, as well as the Meruzzano geographic mention in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, Alba. The parcels range in exposure from south-east to south-west. Their soils are marly and calcareous, with clay and sand present in varying proportions.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo. The wine is assembled from grapes grown in several younger vineyard parcels rather than carrying a more specific geographic mention.

Ageing

Maturation lasts approximately 20 months in oak casks, followed by a few months of refinement in bottle.

Tasting profile

An elegant expression of Barbaresco intended to be less focused on extended longevity and suitable for a broader range of drinking occasions.
