Wine making technique:
Harvest occurs during the first half of
September. The grapes are hand picked into
small baskets and refrigerated during the
pressing process, in order to keep the full
bouquet of the nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation
is traditionally carried on, with maceration on
the skins for 8-10 days. Once the wine is
devatted, the alcoholic fermentation
terminates and the malolactic fermentation
occurs into steal vats at a controlled
temperature.
Refining:
Refining occurs in both barrels and in steal
vats. During this phase the wine undergoes a
series of tastings and devattings from barrels
to smaller barriques (or viceversa) may occur
if necessary according to the organoleptic
features of the product.

Typical ruby red.

Very delicate with floral and fruity notes.
