TECHNICAL NOTE: It comes from vineyards located in the higher part of Bussia of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most reknowned hill into the Barolo wine area. Very slope hill, 20 to 58 years old plant, at 420 mt on the sea level; In total 1,7 ha in property, planted into a sandy-clay miocenic sea sediment, rich in flakes of grey marl. Very well sunny (facing to the south-west) and windy, easy to maintain safe cluster also in rainy vintage.
Carefully following the evolution of the polyphenolic maturation, it is in the second week of October that we harvest our most precious bunches, most of them produced by 50-year-old vines. These Nebbioli ferment on the skins over 4 weeks. Maturation takes place the first year in barrique in contact with the lees and the second and third year in small oak barrels and 500-lt- tonneaux. Bottled without filtering at the beginning of the third year, it is fined in bottle for further 14 months before release.
A refining in the bottle for 12 month helps to arrive to more complex parfums and round flavour.

In the mouth has a totalizing footprint, it is young, tannic, chewable, full and of great length. Wine with excellent aging capacity. Matures 36 months between barriques, oak barrels and tonneaux. Produced from vineyards with 50 years of age.
