Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from vineyards on both the right and left banks of the Tanaro River, in the hills of Barbaresco, San Rocco Seno d’Elvio and Castagnito. Exposures range from south-east to south-west. The vines were planted in 2004 and 2019 on marly soils dominated by limestone, with a substantial sandy component.

Ageing

The wine matures for a few months in steel tanks.

Tasting profile
