Production process
The soil in this area on the border between the town of Alba and Diano d’Alba thus making this wine well suited to produce a great Barbera, floral and elegant. We decided to make the wine coming from this vineyard in a very clean expression by avoiding the use of wood contact completely and always closing the bottle with a glass stopper.
Serving recommendations
The wine is usually placed on the market in the month of July following the harvest. It should be drink at a temperature of 18 °C / 64 °F and accompanied by salami, mortadella, and pairs great also with richer fattier meats: it plays off the fresh meat nuances of this wine. It is recommended to consume young but will maintain a good level of quality up to three or four years.
