The grape of origin is Timorasso, a white variety which has found favorable soils and exposures on the hills around the town of Tortona, in the province of Alessandria, since Middle Ages.
After soft crushing and a short period of cold maceration, the free run must ferments at a temperature of 16 – 18 °C to enhance the varietal aromas. This is followed by several months’ ageing on lees to improve the product’s complexity and longevity.
