Beautiful wine made on the hills around Alba and left on wood for 6 months (far less than a Barolo and Barbera) which creates a complex but more refreshing and fruity wine. The Nebbiolo D'Alba still has great ageing potential…. It can only get better!

Vinification

The grapes come from the vineyards located in an area called "Conca d'Oro" in Montelupo Albese, 1.68 hectare in total. Positioned on medium hilly terrain at an altitude of 480 meters above sea level with southern exposure. The soil is marl-limestone which is very fertile but loose in consistency. It consists exclusively of Nebbiolo with clonal material (Lancia, Michet) of Italian origin. They cultivate their vines using the Guyot method and have approximately 5300 vines per hectare. The juice is macerated on the skins for 16 days at a temperature of 28 degrees, with continuous and regular pumping over and punching down. After a 40-day rest in a steel tank it is elevated into barriques of 225 and 500 litre size for 15 months maintaining the typical characteristics or DNA of the grape. The wine is then left to mature in bottle for at least six months.

Press Comments

Highly Commended Wine Merchant Top 100, 2026. Jancisrobinson.com, 2025, 16 points: "Gentle strawberry fruit wrapped in long, elegantly dry, spicy tannins. A hint of cocoa nibs, cola and coffee powder. Cigar fragrant and a little chewy on the end. Appetising."
