This Grignolino d’Asti comes from a thirty years-old, Guyot-trained vineyard of Castagnole Monferrato. This vineyard faces south-east and is located at two hundred meters above the sea level, on the top of the hill.

The grapes are manually picked up in the middle of the harvest period: their fermentation starts with selected yeasts and is followed by a short maceration, avoiding the extraction of a too strong suite of tannins. Then the wine is aged for three to four months in large oak barrels and is bottled at the beginning of the spring. Its colour is a bright ruby red, has a nose of violet and geranium, and its taste is rich in cerise, blackberry and blueberry with a touch of cloves. Its light colour can be misleading: it isn’t a light wine, and it matches well with strong flavours.
