The vineyard
The Nebbiolo grapes are sourced from historic plots planted in the mid-20th century in Castiglione Falletto. Situated at an altitude of 330 meters with a southern exposure, the vineyard features marly soils with yellow and blue hues, which shape the character of these old vines.
Winemaking
Following a gentle pressing, the must ferments for three weeks in stainless steel tanks using the traditional submerged cap method. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in wood and ages in oak casks for approximately 30 months before bottling.
