Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats only, at a temperature of 17-18° C, with or without a partial malolactic fermentation. The wine is left on the lees at low temperatures for some weeks, in order to gain a durability of 2-3 years. The last part of alcoholic fermentation takes place in pressure thank, obtaining the traditional low sparkling charactere. Bottled during winter season.

My wife Giuliana and I personally manage over 11 hectares of vineyards in Canelli, in Piedmont, within a charming landscape on the border between Langhe and Monferrato, recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a winemaker, I oversee both the vineyards and the cellar, combining innovation with the traditions of Piedmont to enhance quality. Respect for the environment guides every choice we make, promoting sustainable practices that preserve biodiversity. Our production includes sparkling wines such as Alta Langa Metodo Classico, alongside Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Barbera d’Asti, Nizza, Albarossa, and Moscato Canelli, a sweet, lightly sparkling wine, typical of this land
