  • This wine is both fragrant and elegant. It boasts complex aromas of wild berries complemented by hints of menthol, leather, liquorice, violet, and earthy tones. Subtle herbal notes add another layer of depth. It is beautifully balanced, with firm tannins, a fruity mid-palate, and a lingering finish contributing to its great length.

This wine was made organically with minimal sulphur. The must was fermented, followed by maceration lasting 10 to 15 days, during which it underwent frequent pump-overs to submerge the cap and extract flavour, aromas, and fine tannins. The wine was racked and underwent malolactic conversion in cement vats at 18°C before being transferred to oak casks of 15 to 30 hectolitres for a minimum of two years' maturation.

A fragrant and elegant wine with complex aromas of wild berries layered with menthol, leather, liquorice, violet, earthy tones and subtle herbal notes. It is beautifully balanced with firm tannins, a fruity mid-palate and great length on the finish.

Winery

The one hectare vineyard in the Cru of Sarmassa was originally planted in 1941, with further plantings in 2000, and it has been organically farmed since 2010. The Guyot pruned vines are grown in Sant'Agata Fossil Marl soils, comprising silt (43.2%), clay (30.5%) and sand (26.3%). The wines from this Cru tend to be elegant yet structured. The Nebbiolo vines are Lampia and Michet clones grown on rootstocks K5BB and 420A. Situated at a 300-metre elevation, the vines are planted with a south-westerly orientation to optimise exposure to the sun. Planted at a density of 3,700 vines per hectare, they are carefully cultivated by hand, with green harvesting and thinning taking place to control yields and increase concentration. Green manure is employed to enhance the vitality of the soil, and the cuttings from the grass cover crops are left on the soil to help increase the nutrient value. By organic viticulture, copper and sulphur are used when necessary; herbicides and pesticides are not employed. Harvest takes place by hand at optimal maturity.
