THE NAME OF THIS WINE STEMS FROM THE PIEDMONTESE DIALECT AND INDICATES AN AREA OF VINEYARDS WITH SHORT ROWS. IT IS MADE WITH GRAPES FROM THE ESTATE'S YOUNGEST VINES.
Grape: Nebbiolo
Vinification and ageing: Soft crushing of the grapes.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts for about 8 – 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, during which pumping over is carried out at regular intervals to ensure optimal extraction of the colour and tannins contained in the grape skins. This is followed by racking and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked into oak barrels, where it ages for a few months before being bottled.
Sensory features: Deep ruby red colour. The bouquet is young, fresh and fruity, with slight scents of leather typical of the grape variety. On the palate it is young, elegant and slightly spicy.
Serving temperature: 16 – 17°C
