About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the oldest vineyards at the La Meirana estate in the municipality of Gavi. Planted between 1952 and 1953, the vines grow at 300–350 metres above sea level on limestone and marl soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small wooden crates and fermented in steel vats.

Ageing

The wine spends 108 months on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks.

Label / history
