Comes from Nebbiolo grapes produced in a particularly suitable sub-zone, named Bricco Ambrogio in the town of Roddi. It is a spendid, but nearly unknown cru. The grapes arrive in the winery to be selected, picked and pressed. The most obtained, ferments at a controlled temperature with a 14/16 day maceration using the “cappello sommerso” method. After drawing, the wine first matures in French Allier kegs for 18 months, and successively in 20 hl oak casks for about 6 months. After that, one more year of bottle aging before the commercialization.
