Description
This wine is a blend of grapes from the east-facing old vines of Monforte’s San Giovanni site, and the south-facing sandier soils of Monrobiolo di Bussia. Spontaneous fermentation and one month of maceration is followed by two years in wood. It’s wonderfully fragrant, with high-toned spices, citrus, chinato and glassy berries. The depth of fruit, gleaming sandstone tannins and mineral purity is the true highlight here.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Barolo
Piedmont's most famous wine DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Barolo is renowned for producing Italy's finest reds from 100 percent Nebbiolo. The Barolo appellation was formalised in 1966 at around 1,700 hectares, and has an exceptional terroir with almost every village perched on its own hill. The climate is continental, with an extended summer and autumn enabling the fickle Nebbiolo to achieve perfect ripeness.
