Descrizione

The harvest for the Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Schiavenza is carried out manually between the second half of September and the first of October. The winemaking and aging process includes fermentation and maceration in 30/50 quintal concrete tanks for 15-20 days, maintaining a variable temperature between 30° and 33°C. During this period, two daily pumpovers are carried out to aerate the fermenting must and break the cap. Subsequently, after a few months of frequent decanting into steel tanks, the wine is transferred for maturation in Slavonian oak barrels. It should be noted that the wine is not filtered. This is followed by a period of bottle refinement in cool, dark rooms before marketing.

The wine presents a fragrant profile. Floral and fruity tones clearly emerge, with distinct aromas of roses and black cherries, enriched by spicy and balsamic notes.

Winery history

The estate began as a family business rooted in Serralunga d’Alba: the original core was purchased by the great-grandfather in the 1920s and the first label dates to 1956, the year construction of the winery also began. In the 1990s management expanded with the entry of new generations, and the estate progressively enlarged its vineyards and modernized the winery while retaining traditional methods. Since 1997 the business has also included a trattoria/agriturismo that showcases the estate’s products.

Production philosophy

The winery adopts an approach that prioritizes soil health and terroir expression: low-impact practices, hand-harvesting, and winemaking focused on expressing the terroir rather than on oenological manipulation. Concrete tanks are used for fermentation and Slavonian oak barrels for aging in the traditional styles.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards extend between Serralunga d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba in the Langhe: soils of the Lequio formation in Serralunga and sandier soils of Diano origin in Perno. Many crus are east/southeast-facing; the vineyards used for the Langhe Nebbiolo lie between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, with individual parcels such as Broglio and Cerretta.
