Region: Piedmont, Italy
Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo
Vineyards: Southwestern exposure

Soil:
Miocene-Helvetian origin with a high content of limestone and grey marl alternating with sand

Vinification:
Traditional fermentation (12–15 days) in stainless steel vats with a floating cap at a controlled temperature. The must then stays in contact with the skins for a further 30–40 days

Aging:
2 years in medium to big oak barrels (200–1,400 hl), followed by a further period of bottle aging

Tasting notes:
Garnet-red color with ruby highlights that take on a slightly orange tone over time. It has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush. The taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and well-balanced, and is very long-lasting

Pairings:
Big meat red dishes, medium or mature cheeses

Serving temperature:
18°C / 64°F
