From pure vinification of 100% pure Nebbiolo grapes. The provenance for this vine is situated in various locations within the Barbaresco area. In Treiso (Cascina Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno D’Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo). After the harvest, which takes place by hand, we proceed with the vinification in steel. Maceration on the skins follows for about 30 days at rather high temperatures. Finally, the aging in French and Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months and a small part in barriques.
