Vinification, winemaker's own words
Soils:
Clay, Limestone
Terroir:
The grapes Albarossa 100% come from our estate vineyards at an altitude of 250 m a.s.l.. The hillside, a 10% slope, has a North-East exposure. The soil is markedly alkaline, poor in organic substances. The site is characterized by a strong temperature range, while the surrounding skyline ensures long exposure to sunlight, causing early ripening. The vine planted is Albarossa, a variety obtained in 1938 by crossing Chatus (also known as Nebbiolo di Dronero) and Barbera.
