Vintage Details

The 2021 vintage in Serralunga d'Alba was characterized by a balanced climate, with warm days and cool nights that favored a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The Nebbiolo expressed its full potential: clear aromas, good acidity, and well-defined tannins. The harvest, carried out between late September and early October, yielded perfectly healthy bunches, rich in aromas and noble substances that give complexity to the wine.

Winemaking and Aging

After a gentle pressing of the grapes, the must ferments in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of about 30°C, to preserve the varietal aromas and favor the extraction of color and tannins. The maceration on the skins lasts several weeks, allowing the wine to develop structure and depth. Aging then takes place in a combination of French oak barriques and large barrels of 2,000 to 3,000 liters for over two years, a balance that enhances the character of Nebbiolo, softening the tannins without masking the identity of the territory.
