The natural heritage of 31 hectares of vineyards is concentrated mainly on the most suitable places for the production of Barbaresco: Marcarini, Pora, Asili, Vallegrande.

Wine making | The crushing of the grapes, hand-picked and selected in some micro-areas of CRU Vallegrande, produces the must that ferments, with temperature-controlled maceration, in wooden vats. In the lively phase of fermentation, two punching-downs per day allow the proper extraction of colors and aromas from the skins. Then, submerged cap maceration continues for a long time, about 60 days. |
Aging | After racking, the wine matures for 30 months in second- and third-passage Slavonian oak barrels and, finally, bottle aging is extended for 12 months before release. |
