About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards in the Langhe hills. The soils combine clay, limestone, grey-blue marl and sand; they are low in organic matter and contain significant quantities of manganese and potassium.

Ageing

After fermentation, the wine rests for one year in large oak casks and stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Elegant and characterful, with a classic aroma and a balanced expression of Nebbiolo and its terroir.
