Interesting Facts
The wine is produced from one of the last archaic vineyards of the Langhe region, with vines over a hundred years old, 100% Vitis Vinifera. The small plot, located in Berry near La Morra, has excellent exposure and sandy-chalk soil, which guarantees natural protection from phylloxera. The low yield guarantees an extremely rare and rich concentration. The wine "rests" in oak barrels for 12 months before bottling.
