About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at 300–400 metres above sea level in the Barbaresco area, which encompasses four villages northeast of Alba.

Vinification

Harvest begins in the first half of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 30–31 °C for 8–10 days.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in oak barrels, followed by a further 12 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
