| Origin |
Village of Castelletto, Town of Monforte d’Alba (Cuneo). |
| Climate |
Exposure: South-East. Hills with a good slope, between 40-50%. |
| Soil composition |
Medium-textured Helvetian-type soil with a balanced content of silt, clay and sand. Rich in mineral salts and limestone. |
| Vinification |
The grapes are crushed and then destemmed. The must obtained is cryo-macerated for about 24 hours. It then ferments at a controlled temperature of 30-32°C in tanks and, after 7-9 days of maceration, is racked off at the end of fermentation. |
| Ageing |
Immediately after malolactic fermentation, which takes place in December, the wine is put into wooden barrels, some new and some already used for previous vintages. Racked once a year, after 24 months it is blended in concrete vats from where it is bottled during the summer after about six months for further natural stabilisation. It ages in the bottle for a further six months before marketing. |
| Pairing |
Ideal with main courses of red meat, braised meats and game in general. Perfect with aged cheeses. |
