About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the "Tucci" vineyard in Montà d'Alba. They give the wine the distinctive structure and saline character associated with Arneis di Montà.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September. Fermentation takes place at 16 °C and lasts around 15 days.

Ageing

The wine ages on fine lees for around 9 months, with periodic bâtonnage, partly in stainless-steel tanks and partly in terracotta amphorae. After bottling it matures for a further 6 months in the winery's cellars.

Tasting profile

Light and breezy in feel, with a distinctive structure and a saline character.

Serving and pairing

Suited to a summer aperitif or to fish dishes.

Label / history

The name "Tucci" is that of the vineyard in Montà d'Alba from which the grapes come.
