The grapes for this wine are grown in various selected vineyards sites mostly from the Barolo area and a minor part from Barbaresco, which when blended form the Langhe DOC. The vineyard’s soils consist of marl, which is a combination of limestone and clay in which the Nebbiolo variety has found its home, on the rolling hills of the Langhe. The climate is Mediterranean with an extended summer and autumn enabling the fickle Nebbiolo to achieve perfect ripeness. Influence from the Alps, with cool mountainous airstreams create high diurnal temperature swings, resulting in a long hang time in which the grapes build aromatic complexity and achieve balancing acidity. The vines are sustainably cultivated and hand-harvested by vineyard when each parcel has achieved optimal ripeness
