Description
The first inhabited settlement of Priocca is believed to have been the Colle della Stella (Star Hill), located along the road from Alba to Asti. This hill rises in a sunny and open position over the Tanaro valley, facing Barbaresco. The white clays in this area are the main source of the grapes that make up this wine. Each plot of land also has its own name added, such as Ramarro, Ciliegio, Rosmarino, etc., to delineate specific identities and characteristics.
