About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from one hectare of the Vigna Colonnello vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. Tortonian soils contribute finesse and elegance, while the Serravallian landscape provides structure and power.

Vinification

The 2017 Nebbiolo was harvested on 19 September. In the cellar, the grapes were gently crushed and 70% were destemmed. The wine macerated on the skins for eight days in stainless-steel tanks at no more than 30 °C. Malolactic fermentation was complete by the end of winter.

Ageing

The wine matured for 18 months in French oak barrels of various sizes, followed by 24 months in stainless-steel tanks and a further 24 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Silky tannins combine finesse and elegance with structure and power.

Serving and pairing

Decant for one hour before serving.
