the Langhe Area.

Yield: Regulations allow 9 tons per hectare. Nevertheless, according to the precepts of quality of the winery, our vintners obtain a lower yield that signifies better grapes in terms of sugar and extracts content and influences positively the resulting wine.
Vinification process: Fermentation in contact with the grape skins in temperature-controlled vats using selected yeast and practising several repassings of the must over the grape dregs to add colour and obtain substantial polyphenol extraction.

Well defined fruity aroma
Well balanced, winey and full of character taste with an almond finish
Finished alcohol: 12 % Volume
