The grapes for this Barbaresco come from our Montefico cru vineyard in Barbaresco, where they are grown in compact soil characterized by limestone and clay. The vines face south and lie at a height of 230 to 260 meters above sea level, which gives the grapes optimal growing conditions. The wine is produced with the Guyot training system in a modified version.

After the harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed and lightly crushed, after which the must is fermented on skins in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The wine is then matured in large oak casks, and after bottling it is further stored in the cellar, where silence and darkness ensure the optimal maturation process.
