Tasting notes

Notes of peach and apricot from the calcareous soils of Pomaij, with hints of red berries adding sapidity, tension and a citrus touch; a tribute to Roero's most emblematic white grape.

Vinification
White grapes are picked at peak crispness and gently pressed for a cool, controlled fermentation; red grapes are destemmed and vinified without skin contact. Both components age in ceramic or concrete and undergo natural malolactic fermentation; the unfiltered blend is composed after six months.
