About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the historic Monvigliero cru in the La Morra area. Yields are deliberately kept low.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand during the first ten days of October. Fermentation and a 35-day maceration take place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25–26 °C. The wine is bottled without filtration or fining to preserve its natural berry character.

Ageing

The wine matures for 30 months in large French oak casks.

Tasting profile

The nose combines berries and fresh grass, recalling the flowering gardens of Piedmont. Fresh red fruit and floral notes lead the palate, accompanied by a light earthy touch. The wine has a satisfying texture and full flavour.

Serving and pairing

Pair with meat or cheese, or serve after dinner with dark chocolate.

Vintage notes

In 2020, the Italian growing season was warmer than usual, resulting in an earlier harvest. Warm days and cool nights provided ideal conditions for late-ripening Nebbiolo.

Label / history

The Monvigliero cru has produced wines for the estate since the time of Grandfather Domenico.
