- Vinification
- Made to keep the freshness and elegance of Nebbiolo. Fermentation with maceration lasts 6 to 8 days, then the still cloudy wine is held at 18 to 20 C for malolactic fermentation. In December it moves to oak for about a year, followed by about as long in bottle. Wine aged in wood is neither filtered nor clarified (estate-level statement).
- Storage
- Ages well, but the producer suggests drinking it relatively young.
