| Origin |
Municipality of Monforte d’Alba. |
| Climate |
Altitude: 370-480m. 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 calcareous-clay marl, alternating layers of marl and sand or sandstone, with a prevalence of Diano Sandstone (compact sedimentary rock made up of grains of light-coloured non-calcareous sand). This terroir produces alcoholic wines, with important tannins, good structure and a long cellar life. |
| Vinification |
Harvesting is followed by alcoholic fermentation, with maceration on skins for about 20 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel. |
| Ageing |
The wine then ages in small oak barrels for 24 months. This is followed by a further 12 months in the bottle before release for sale. |
