The parcels differ in altitude, soil and exposure, so the wine reads as a survey of the appellation rather than one site: fruit here comes from Barolo, Serralunga d'Alba, Novello and Castiglione Falletto. Fermentation starts with wild yeasts in tank, followed by malolactic conversion and ageing in mostly used 500-litre French oak casks. Between 20 and 30 per cent of the fruit goes in as whole bunches, time on skins ranges from ten days to a month, and total time in oak runs 20 to 22 months. The wine is bottled unfiltered.
