Pora is a 10.7-hectare MGA with south- and southwest-facing vineyards. The clay-limestone soil contains sandy veins. Grapes for the 2021 release were grown by Dellaferrera and Manzone. Proximity to the Tanaro River creates a microclimate associated with Pora's open, gentle expression, broad palate and soft tannins.
