About this wine
A crisp white made from 100% Favorita (a Piedmontese relative of Vermentino), grown on the estate's tufa- and limestone-rich soils. Pale straw in color with greenish reflections, showing notes of white flowers, lemon and green apple with a subtle mineral edge. Cryomacerated at 18°C for seven days, then aged six months in horizontal stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.
A light, refreshing white with none of the intimidation of Piedmont's big reds — an easy everyday choice.

バローロ「マントエット」
Barolo "Mantoetto"
RedNebbiolo
Cantina Fracassi's flagship wine, sourced exclusively from the two-hectare Mantoetto vineyard in Cherasco — the only site within the Cherasco commune classified for Barolo DOCG, effectively a monopole. The vineyard's limestone-marl soils give the Nebbiolo unusual finesse and tension. Following historic Piedmontese tradition, the wine is aged for four years in large Slavonian oak botti, well beyond the DOCG's minimum requirement, developing notes of dried cherry, rose, licorice and forest floor.
バルベーラ・ダルバ「チャボット・コンテッサ」
Barbera d'Alba "Ciabot Contessa"
RedBarbera
A single-vineyard Barbera from the Ciabot Contessa site near Cherasco. Aged in oak barrels of varying sizes and ages for two years, followed by a further year and a half in bottle before release — an unusually long élevage for Barbera. The result is a deep ruby-garnet wine with a vinous, spicy nose showing hints of oak, and a dry, silky palate with the variety's signature bright acidity.
ドルチェット・ダルバ「チャボット・ブルサ」
Dolcetto d'Alba "Ciabot Brusà"
RedDolcetto
A single-vineyard Dolcetto from the Ciabot Brusà site, showing more depth and structure than the estate's basic bottling. Reviewers have noted an earthy, mineral-driven nose of dried blueberries, iron and dried flowers, with a cool, focused palate of dark currant and firm, well-integrated tannins.
ドルチェット・ダルバ
Dolcetto d'Alba
RedDolcetto
The winery's everyday red, made in the classic Cherasco style with minimal oak influence to preserve Dolcetto's fresh, fruit-forward character. Ruby red with violet reflections, a vinous nose with pleasant fruity notes, and the soft tannins and easy drinkability typical of Dolcetto d'Alba.
