We grow grapes to make
wine
Wine is the expression or, rather, the result of a co-working between many factors. There is the climate, which with its micro differences generates peculiar aspects on each slope of the hills; there is the soil, which with its composition and layers provides unique characteristics, where the roots sink and tangle; there is the work and the passion, where strong hands take care of the development of the plants in all its phenological phases.

PIEMONTE DOC
PINOT NERO
DESCRIPTION
2021 Vintage: a relevant dry year, winter with medium-low temperatures and good snowfall with snow covering the surface for quite long periods. Average-scarce rainfall in the spring and very little in the summer with temperatures around the average. A typical feature of the Alta Langa is the high temperature range between night / day which helps to express and preserve the excellent aromas of the wines. The vineyards are located on a slightly steep hill facing SOUTH / SOUTH-EAST. Monesiglio, the municipality where the vineyards are, is considered a mountain municipality, which however enjoys a high influence of nearby Liguria and its sea. Very typical is the wind that blows right along the valley from the sea, called “märin” in Piedmonts dialect, which, thanks to the Altare or Cadibona pass, creeps into the valley bringing salty notes and temperatures typical of the coast.
Plant year 2018.
French clone screw grafted onto an American graft holder.
Certified organic vineyard and Simonit & Sirch plant pruning and conservation system
Fertilization every other year exclusively with locally sourced manure from NON-intensive farms.

Harvest at the end of September with selection and thinning of the grapes (done prior to the harvest).
Good ripening and sugar yield of the bunches, with a medium-low yield in terms of volume of must, due to the very low rainfall in the summer.
The wine-making takes place in steel tanks with maceration on the skins for the entire fermentation.
Drawing off and decanting of the clean for maturation in tonneaux and barriques of French origin (second or more passage). Aging for 8/12 months.
