Cellar Notes
A selection made only in the best vintages, from a 100% Nebbiolo micro-vinification with late harvest. After rigorous grape selection and extended maceration, it ages for 5 years in a 1,580 litre oak cask built specifically for this wine. Added sulphites are minimal: the selection, the long maceration and the dedicated cask reduce the need for them.
