We began with the idea of creating a “small Barolo” with this Nebbiolo, using the same techniques adopted for the vinification of our Barolos. We have been managing this vineyard in Diano d'Alba for almost forty years and every harvest has amazed us with the quality of the grapes it gives us, grapes that make it possible for us to offer a wine with structure and character.
