After the manual harvest, fermentation follows the traditional method in the tank, with vinification that involves destemming, the use of whole berries and a pre-fermentative maceration with punching down. The aging period takes place in Burgundy pièces for a period of 12 months, giving the wine a notable structure and complexity.

The color is an intense ruby ​​red with garnet shades. On the nose, the wine offers a broad, complex and fascinating bouquet, characterized by the ripe red berries typical of the vine, such as raspberry and strawberry, accompanied by spicy and woody nuances.

The palate is characterized by a range of complex flavours, ranging from ripe red fruits to spices, from balsamic to aromatic woods. The texture of the wine is silky but dense, with well-fused acidity and noble tannins, leading to a harmonious finish with returns of red fruits and spices.

In terms of pairings, this wine goes well with meat, game and fish, red and fatty meat such as salmon, tuna and turbot, or with matured cheeses.

Winery history

Production philosophy
The production approach aims to highlight the voice of the terroir and the grape rather than cellar interventions: careful vineyard management, winemaking that respects the raw material, and the goal of producing precise, expressive wines capable of conveying the distinct character of each cru, with particular attention to Nebbiolo.
Terroir and vineyards
