About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards in La Morra, Serralunga d'Alba and Castiglione Falletto, where the climate suits Nebbiolo.

Vinification

Grapes from the different sites are fermented with skin contact to preserve their natural fruit character. Malolactic fermentation follows, giving greater depth and softer acidity.

Ageing

The wine spends several months in vats, then 2 years in oak barrels, and about a further year in bottle. This brings out the soft texture, generous aroma and deep colour.

Tasting profile

Rich, appealing bouquet and a soft taste, with a soft texture and deep colour.

Serving and pairing

The 2017 is ready to drink now.

Vintage notes

The 2017 vintage has good ageing potential, though it is ready to enjoy now.
