Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in Verduno region (Boscatto and Monvigliero), at 300-to-350 ft. above sea level. The average age of the vines is 50 years, and they are grown on a Southwest-and Southern-facing, in calcareous clay soil, at a density of about 5,000 plants per acre. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed, and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks after a short period of cold stabilization to increase complexity and aroma. Skin maceration takes place over 15 days, assuring good color and body.
Serving Hints
This wine is a perfect accompaniment to red meats, and an array of Italian cheeses, pastas and risotto.
