About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, situated at 300–380 metres and facing south-east. The marly-limestone soils contain a prevalence of sand and silt.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, pressed and then destemmed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless-steel tanks, with an 8–10-day maceration. Malolactic fermentation follows.

Ageing

After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in large barrels.

Tasting profile

A full-bodied Barolo.

Serving and pairing

Its full body suits second courses based on red meat or game, as well as cheeses.
