About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from west-facing vineyards in Costigliole d'Asti. The soils are of medium texture, and the vines are 20–25 years old on average.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in mid-October. The grapes are gently pressed, and the must remains in contact with the skins for about 60 days. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in cement tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages for three years in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Rich and complex, developing greater harmony with cellaring.

Serving and pairing

Open or decant the wine several hours before serving.
