About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the Monferrato Asti area.

Vinification

After harvest and sorting, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly pressed. The must undergoes low-temperature maceration for 6–7 days to extract colour and aroma. The temperature is then raised for alcoholic fermentation, with periodic stirring of the must. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine remains in steel tanks until spring, when it is bottled and released.

Tasting profile

Pleasant in character.
