The grapes are sourced from the La Crena vineyards in Agliano Terme and from several other villages in the hills around Asti. Average density is 4.500 plants per hectare. Limestone and clay-rich soil.

Winemaking: the alcoholic fermentation lasts for approximately 2 weeks and is carried out in steel tanks with daily pumping-over to facilitate the extraction of the color. Also the malolactic fermentation is carried out in steel. The aging, lasting about 1 year, is divided between steel, barriques and barrels.

Description: ruby red color with sour cherry and vanilla notes. Medium-bodied, dry wine with good acidity and soft tannins. Very well balanced, with a good complexity and a red cherry finish.
