About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards have a south-easterly exposure and lie at elevations of 400–600 m. Their mixed calcareous-marly soils are dominated by sand and silt.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, delicately destemmed and softly pressed. The must undergoes cryomaceration for 24 hours, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Maceration lasts approximately ten days, and malolactic fermentation is completed before maturation.

Ageing

The wine matures for approximately 12 months before bottling.

Tasting profile

A full-bodied Nebbiolo.

Serving and pairing

Pair with red-meat or braised-meat main courses and mature cheeses.
