About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from six vineyards across Treiso, Barbaresco and Neive, at elevations of 200–400 metres. Planting density is 5,000 vines per hectare, and the youngest vines are 20 years old.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand from late September to mid-October. Traditional vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The wine matures for two years in a combination of small and large oak barrels, followed by a further six months in bottle before release.
Tasting profile
The finish is gently astringent, a characteristic associated in the source with Nebbiolo.
