About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards are in Monferrato, at 200–300 metres above sea level, on sandstone soils mixed with limestone.

Vinification

The grapes are gently pressed. The juice is then held at low temperature in pressurised fermentation tanks until the desired carbonation is reached, following the Charmat method.

Ageing

The wine spends at least 18 months on the lees.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with delicate aromas of bread crust and a balanced structure.
