About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

A Piemonte D.O.C. Rosso made from selected bunches grown in San Silvestro’s oldest vineyards in Piedmont. The wine began with fruit from only 50 rows; over successive harvests, those vines became stronger and more productive. Selection now focuses on the finest bunches from the oldest vines.

Tasting profile

A substantial, richly structured wine with pronounced red-fruit notes. The palate is enveloping and persistent.

Serving and pairing

Pair with grilled chicken accompanied by grilled zucchini and eggplant, Parma-style risotto or tortellini alla Bolognese. Cellaring potential is 5 years.

Label / history

Vigne Vecchie celebrates the strength developed by old vines and the enduring relationship between people and the vineyard. It is conceived as a taste of tradition and a tribute to the work invested in those vines over successive harvests.
