The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed before being transferred into stainless steel tanks for fermentation, where they spent three weeks with skin contact, including pre-and post-fermentation maceration, using the traditional submerged cap method. The wine was transferred to oak where malolactic conversion took place. The wine was matured for 32 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks and was bottled without filtration.

Winery | The grapes are grown in the historical Cru vineyard Brunate, which is located in the municipality of La Morra, on the south-facing towards the town of Barolo. The vines are planted at an altitude of 300 to 400 meters above sea level, where they experience good diurnal temperature shifts, which create a long hang time allowing the grapes to gradually build complexity and retain natural acidity. The average age of the vines is 55 years, the low-yielding vines are planted at a density of 4,600 vines per hectare and are trained according to the Guyot trellis system. The soil is calcareous and clayey with the presence of the renowned Marne di Sant’Agata a limestone-rich marl in which the Nebbiolo variety thrives and produces balanced, elegant wines. The vines are hand-harvested in October when the grapes have reached optimal maturity. |
