About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is carefully selected from estate-owned vineyards in the hills of Piedmont. The Falletto vineyards cover 20 hectares across Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco, where the microclimate provides favourable ripening conditions.

Vinification

Traditional alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for two months in French oak barrels, followed by three months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Elegant and highly aromatic.
