About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the Monferrato hills in the south of the province of Asti. The vineyards face southwest, at 250–400 metres above sea level, on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25–30 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests for five months in steel tanks.

Tasting profile
