The grapes come from the Montemarino vineyard on one of the highest Gavi hills, with a south-facing aspect, sea breezes and clay-limestone soils. The official technical description does not mention any skin contact; fermentation and two years of ageing in 5–7-hl tonneaux take place with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine has a bright amber colour, aromas of dried fruit and honey, a warm, broad, oily-textured body and a long finish. It is considered suitable for ageing for at least 15 years.
