The vineyard for this wine is located in the hilly southern Piedmont near the Ligurian border in the town of Montforte D'Alba at an altitude of 300m.
Maceration on the skins takes place for about 8 days in rotating fermenters at a controlled temperature. The grapes are then pressed and alcoholic fermentation is completed after about 20 days in steel tanks.
The malolactic fermentation takes place in French barriques, 50% new and 50% used, at a temperature of around 20°C for about 2 months.
The wine remains in the barrique for a total of 24 months, then it remains in the steel tank for about 6 months to settle and is then bottled without filtration or fining.
