About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, at elevations of 300–380 metres with south-eastern exposure. The marly-limestone soils contain a predominance of sand and silt.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo.

Vinification

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

Ageing

The wine matures in large barrels after malolactic fermentation.

Serving and pairing

Its full-bodied profile suits red-meat and game main courses and can also accompany cheese.
