About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in vineyards at around 300 metres above sea level in Sermoria, Comune di Gavi. The soils comprise clay, marl and limestone.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested by hand and chilled for 12 hours before destemming and gentle pressing. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matured in stainless-steel tanks for nine months, followed by at least six months in bottle.
