Tasting Notes

A fine example of Piedmont winemaking, this Langhe DOC reflects generations of local expertise. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Rhine Riesling 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect crisp citrus and orchard fruit aromas framed by a clean, mineral finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards located at 360 meters above sea level on clayey, sandy and chalky-calcareous soils. East facing. Vinification: cold maceration for 12 hours, than alcoholic fermentation in steel vats. The wine is aged 8 months in concrete vats. A wine showcasing the fog-kissed hills of the Langhe.
