About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the estate’s vineyards in the Monforte d’Alba area. The vines are 12–15 years old on average.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand. At the winery, the fruit undergoes 34 hours of cryo-extraction to develop colour and aroma, followed by four days of skin maceration at a controlled temperature. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in small oak barrels, followed by a further three months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Elegant.
