- Origin
- Langhe DOP, Piemont, Italy
The grapes come from around three hectares of vineyards in Barbaresco, Serralunga and Trezzo Tinella. The predominantly calcareous and clay soils contribute mineral tension. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel; the wine then matures for six months in stainless steel and oak, with part apparently aged in oak. In the glass, it shows citrus, grapefruit, ripe pear, sage and mint, together with botanical, mineral and lightly smoky notes. The body is balanced and finely structured, with salty spice, marked acidity and taut minerality. The first vintage was produced in 1986.
