About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate-owned vineyard lies in the commune of Gavi at 300 m above sea level, on mineral-rich marl soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and chilled for 12 hours before destemming and gentle pressing. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures in stainless-steel tanks. After filtration and bottling, it rests for a further 4–6 months in the estate’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Delicate and elegant, with a rich range of floral and fruit notes on the nose and palate.
