About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on sandy soils in the Gavi region, at 200–350 metres above sea level.

Vinification

Harvest usually begins in the second half of September. After gentle pressing, the must is separated from the skins, cooled and settled. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 20 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures in steel tanks for 4–5 months, then develops further in bottle until spring.

Tasting profile

Juicy, fresh and well balanced.
