-
100% Nebbiolo. Hand-picked grapes. First maceration pellicular where crushed grapes rest for a few hours in the must to extract more flavor and aromas. Fermentation then takes place in a mix of stainless steel and cement tanks for 15 days. Part of the wine is then aged for a short time (6-8 months) in large wooden barrels. Then all the wine is blended back and it rests further in cement tanks for 8-12 months. After bottling, it remains in the bottle for another 3 months on the estate before being released on the market.
