Distributor's Notes:

"This wine is 100% organic Nebbiolo and is derived from two vineyards, with the majority being located in Montà (Roero) and the second in Scaparoni (Alba). Both have different soils, where the Scaparoni has a higher percentage of sand and silt than clay and tends to produce a more elegant wine. The Monta vineyard has a higher percentage of clay and produces a more structured wine. Together they’re a match made in heaven. Winemaking Both these vineyards are in cool positions and I have harvested them always a week after the Barolo and Barbaresco. As with all my wines, the wine is made with gentle extraction and focus on the aromatics in preference to colour and tannin. Open fermented with wild yeast, and aged for 12 months in 10 year old barriques. I consider Nebbiolo D’Alba as a good indication of what Barolo and Barbaresco will be like from this year and with this wine there is intense fruit and structure."
