About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Ròche d’Ampsèj vineyard lies where Roero’s sandy marine soils meet the iron-rich marl across the natural boundary formed by the Tanaro River.

Vinification

Vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks and 600-litre oak barrels. The must remains in steel for 10–12 days and in the oak barrels for 45–60 days.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barriques for at least 16 months, followed by two years in bottle.

Tasting profile

It is notably intense and structured.
