About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from three areas: Vezza d’Alba, Montaldo and Monteu Roero. The vineyards occupy mid-slope sites with southern and southwestern exposures.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in early October. Fermentation and maceration take place over 10–12 days at a controlled temperature of 28 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in French Allier oak barrels, followed by 6–7 months in bottle.

Label / history

“Marne Brune” belongs to the “Fuoriclasse” collection—translated as “Superstars”—alongside “La Lepre” and five other wines.
