about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at a sugar level of 25Â° B in March 2006.

in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were crushed into stainless steel fermentation tanks where they fermented at 28Â° C for approximately 10 days. The juice was actively inoculated with a yeast selected for the development of the natural characters in the Nebbiolo grape. Three pump-overs were done per day to extract colour and tannin. The wine was matured in second and third fill 225 liter French oak barrels for 12 months. After a light egg-white fining the wine was bottled.
