About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from leased organic vineyards in Canavese and small plots in Carema.

Grapes

The blend comprises 95% Nebbiolo and 5% of the rare local Ner d’Ala.

Vinification

Fermentation uses wild yeasts and 20% whole clusters to preserve the grapes’ natural structure and aromas.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks for around 10 months.

Tasting profile

Lively, juicy and elegant, with a clean character and refined texture. Berry and rose notes unfold gradually in the glass.
