About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Cortese fruit is grown on hills in Piedmont, on clay and limestone soils that contribute distinctive minerality and a clearly defined character.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed. The must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for several months, softening its texture and adding some body while preserving its clean, fresh character.

Tasting profile

Clean and transparent in character, with lively freshness, gentle fruitiness and delicate precision. The palate is smooth and fine in structure, showing apricot, citrus and light floral notes before a refreshing, slightly saline finish. The overall style is refined, polished and elegant.
