About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from cool, elevated sites in the Langhe. The vineyards occupy north-facing slopes in the historic Bricco di Treiso vineyard and at Bossania in Trezzo Tinella, with Cissone in Alta Langa identified as an additional future source. The wine emerged after the Pio family had accumulated 20 years of experience cultivating Sauvignon Blanc at higher elevations with fresher microclimates.

Vinification

Tasting profile
A Langhe expression of Sauvignon Blanc marked by moderate acidity and clear minerality. Complex, balanced aromas accompany substantial structure and persistence. It is approachable on release while retaining very long ageing potential.
