About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Piedmont at 630 m above sea level, in soils composed of 12% clay, 57% sand and 31% silt. The first vines in these vineyards were planted in 1992.

Vinification

Traditional vinification includes a short period of skin maceration, followed by low-temperature fermentation in stainless-steel vats.

Ageing

The wine matures on the lees for three months, then spends a further six months in steel tanks before bottling.

Label / history

The vineyards produced their first harvest in 1996.
