This wine is the symbol of the tradition of Piedmont and made the production of northern Italy famous worldwide. It is produced with 100% Nebbiolo in the best vineyards of Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d’ Alba, Monforte d’ Alba, Barolo, Novello, La Morra, Verduno and Grinzane Cavour. These lands have a south, south-west exposition and are located 300-400 meters above the sea level. Their soils are mainly composed by marl, clay and micro-elements. The plants, that are between 10 and 40 years old, are trained on espaliers with the traditional Guyot method. 4000 stumps per hectare produce around 70 quintals per hectare, a little less if compared to the average of the company. The wine making starts with the soft pressing and the elimination of stalks, followed by a long maceration. The fermentation is managed in steel containers at a controlled temperature. The maturation, that lasts 6 months, is managed in steel too and it is followed by the aging, developed for 24 months in big barrels made of Slavonian oak.
