| Winery | The grapes are grown in the six-hectare vineyard of Tenuta la Court in the commune of Castelnuovo Calcea. Castelnuovo Calcea is one of the 18 designated communes within the appellation of Nizza DOCG. Originally a subzone of the Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Nizza became a separate DOCG in 2014. The Guyot-trained vines are planted at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare and are grown on a southeast-to-southwest facing slope at an elevation of 230 to 280 metres above sea level. The soils are known as Astiane Sands and consist of calcareous clay marl of sedimentary marine origin, with a good presence of lime and sand. They are rich in microelements, in particular magnesium. The vines are very low-yielding, with excess bunches thinned at the summer's end to concentrate the remaining grapes' flavours. A manual harvest takes place at optimal maturity levels. |
