About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Nebbiolo is grown in Monforte, Verduno and La Morra, in vineyards facing mainly east and southeast. In Monforte d’Alba, the soils are calcareous clay marls with tuff formations of Helvetian origin. The soils of La Morra and Verduno are of Tortonian origin, with a high proportion of silt and sand.

Ageing
The wine matures for at least three years, including 24 months in large oak casks and at least one year in bottle.
