About this wine

Vinification

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for three months.

Tasting profile

Refreshing.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif and with fish, seafood, light salads, fruit and cheese.

Vintage notes

The winter of 2022 was especially cold in Piemonte, with little snow. A warm spring brought mountain meltwater that partially replenished groundwater reserves, but temperatures rose in late spring and oppressive heat arrived before summer. Water retained in the soil mitigated the worst effects of the drought. Yields were lower, while the fruit was highly concentrated.
