About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The old vineyard lies in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba and has a southerly position that creates a favourable microclimate.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the first half of October and sorted during picking, destemming and pressing. Fermentation and maceration last 16–20 days with native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation continues from autumn until the following spring.

Ageing

The wine matures in French oak barrels for at least 36 months, followed by two years in bottle before release.

Tasting profile

Elegant, velvety and deep on the palate, with a vivid bouquet.

Serving and pairing

Serve in a large wine glass with meat dishes at dinner. It is particularly suited to colder weather, from late autumn through winter.
