This white wine from Piedmont comes from Timorasso grapes grown in the company's vineyards on the Tortona hills, on limestone-silty soils. The manual harvest takes place towards the end of September: the grapes are transferred to the cellar, de-stemmed and subjected to pressing, with cold maceration for a duration of 12 hours. Immediately after, the soft pressing takes place and the must obtained is decanted in such a way as to eliminate the most full-bodied sediments. Alcoholic fermentation takes place for 30 days in steel tanks.
