About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are trained using the Guyot system. Harvest takes place at the end of September.

Grapes

A blend of red grape varieties authorized for the Langhe denomination.

Vinification

After arrival at the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and vinified as a red wine. The must remains in contact with the skins for approximately one week. Malolactic fermentation is completed to moderate the wine’s naturally high acidity and give it a softer, more balanced profile.

Ageing

The wine matures for at least 24 months in large cask before bottling.

Technical data

Langhe Rosso DOC. Alcohol: 14% vol.

Tasting profile

An intense, brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections. The aroma is fine and concentrated, combining ripe fruit with sweet spices; the technical profile also describes vinous, vanilla and ethereal notes. The palate is dry, full-bodied and well structured, with balanced acidity, a soft, velvety texture and an overall sense of balance.

Serving and pairing

Suitable for braised red meat, cooked cured meats and substantial meat-based main courses.
