Fermentation and maceration for seven to eight days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Five to ten percent of the grapes ferment without being crushed or destemmed at the bottom of the tank, covered by the must. The wine is racked off and aged in barrels for approximately four to five months. The kind of barrels used depends on the vintage. A short period of aging in bottle occurs before release, ensuring that all the elegance of this variety can be expressed.

Tasting Notes: This Langhe Nebbiolo doesn't try too hard, it just shows up and gets it right. Pure red fruit rises with clarity, touched by rose and a hint of spice, all lifted and vibrant. The tannins are fine, acidity lively, and the whole thing feels easy but far from simple. Fresh, honest, and seriously tasty.
