The estate's entry-level Nebbiolo, sourced from the Gramolere vineyard in Monforte d'Alba. Aged in a combination of French and Slavonian oak, it softens Nebbiolo's naturally firm tannins while preserving vivid red fruit, floral aromatics, and earthy undertones, offering a more accessible, early-drinking expression of the grape compared to the estate's Barolo bottlings.
Punches above its price point — a real Nebbiolo experience at a fraction of the Barolo price.
