About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo fruit comes from the “Piuchemej” vineyard in La Morra.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the first week of October and sorted in both the vineyard and the winery. After gentle crushing, fermentation on the skins and maceration take place in stainless-steel tanks for 25 days at 30 °C. Malolactic fermentation occurs in large 30 hL oak casks.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak for 30 months, with bâtonnage during the first 10 months, followed by six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Rich and well structured, with an intriguing aroma, generous flavour and a distinctive character.
