About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in Sarmassa, Madonna di Como and Simio. The soils are limestone and clay, at 250–550 metres above sea level. The vines are between 10 and 50 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand from the second half of September to the first half of October. The wine macerates on the skins for 20–25 days.

Ageing

The wine spends 6–8 months in oak barrels of 500–600 litres and 25 hl. After bottling it rests a further 6 months in the winery's cellars.

Tasting profile
