About this wine

Vinification

The grapes were harvested healthy and at the right moment, thanks to favourable weather.

Ageing

The wine is aged for 38 months in total, including 18–24 months in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Nebbiolo's typical tannins and acidity are balanced by ripe, generous fruit. The wine is juicy and aromatic, with excellent balance and an elegant flavour profile. Ageing in oak brings harmony and depth. Approachable in youth, it shows rich fruit aromas lifted by a savoury freshness, with a full-bodied structure.

Vintage notes

2021: favourable weather allowed the winemakers to pick healthy grapes at just the right time, giving juiciness, aroma and balance.
