About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Secondine is one of Barbaresco’s historic areas. The vineyard lies at the foot of the town, in a small valley running from the Tanaro River to the Pajè amphitheater. It has loamy soil and is naturally protected by the amphitheater.

Vinification

For the 2020 vintage, the grapes were harvested on 29 September. They were destemmed and pressed, then fermented for approximately seven days at no more than 30 °C. Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter.

Ageing

The wine spent at least twelve months in oak barrels, followed by several months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Elegant and finely structured, with sweet, velvety tannins.

Serving and pairing

Decant for one hour before serving.
