Soil

From a geological standpoint it can be distinguished as belonging to the Lequio Formation with not very compact calcareous-clay marls from the Langhian Stage of the Miocene Epoch. The slope of the vineyards and their position shielded from the wind confirm what the elderly say, who swear there is a microclimate more favorableable for growing the Nebbiolo grape than ever before

Organoleptic characteristics

color never too bright, a lovely tone and very stable over time.Floral aromas with hints of fresh fruit and sweet spices on the palate, a quite savory, well-structured wine, with acids and tannins nicely in step; the latter stand out and tend to be sweet. It is a very ageable wine that after proper ageing acquires signs of its pedigree, great elegance, marked minerality and remarkable personality
