| Origin |
Town of Monforte d’Alba (Cuneo). |
| Climate |
Altitude: 370-480 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition |
The soils are of marine sedimentary origin, dating back to the "Piedmont Tertiary Basin", and are characterised by the presence of sedimentary clayey-limestone marl, alternating layers of marl and sand or sandstone, with a prevalence of Diano Sandstone, a compact sedimentary rock made up of grains of light-coloured non-calcareous sand. This terroir produces alcoholic wines with significant tannins, good structure and a long cellar life. |
| Vinification |
Malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel. |
| Ageing |
The wine is then aged in small oak barrels for 24 months. The wine rests a further 12 months in the bottle before being put on the market. |
