About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in vineyards in the municipality of Alba in Langhe, a historic area of Piedmont between the Tanaro and Bormida rivers.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early September, then destemmed and crushed. Fermentation and skin-contact maceration take place in stainless-steel tanks at 25 °C for 6–7 days. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in stainless steel.

Ageing

The wine rests on its fine lees for four months in stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with a rich, fruity bouquet and a pleasantly fresh palate.
