Wine: Roero Riserva DOCG Valmaggiore
Grape: Roero Rosso Riserva DOCG, mga Valmaggiore
The deep firmness of Nebbiolo.
Single vineyard, unique wines.
The grapes come from a single vineyard (only one) based in Audinaggio, in Valmaggiore mga, in Vezza d'Alba municipality. The original core of this vineyard dates back to 1947 and the steep slope of the hill only allows manual processing. The exposure is south-east, south, south-west; the soil is sandy.
The grapes are harvested at the best state of ripeness
depending on each vintage and on the plants. Wine is the
result of grapes fermentation and maceration which last a
couple of weeks; the period can change based on the vintage
and on its climatic conditions.
After the required aging in casks, the wine is bottled in the
waning moon of autumn following the harvest. Finally after a
further rest in bottle for almost two year, the wine is ready
to be sold. In the best vintages it may boast the mention of
"reserve".
