About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo vineyards are on the Tolino farm, known as Tulin in Piedmontese dialect, across the municipalities of Treiso and Neviglie.

Vinification

Modern technology is combined with traditional winemaking techniques. The wine macerates on the skins in steel tanks for 15 days.

Ageing

The wine matures in barrels for 18–20 months, followed by 9 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

The nose is rich and layered. The palate is juicy, bright and well structured.

Label / history

Until 2001, the wine was released under the name Vintage; it was subsequently renamed Tulin. In Piedmontese, tulin means a small tin box, while tule means a tinsmith.
