From 100% pure Chardonnay grapes. The origin falls on the vineyards owned by our family at Cascina Il Bricco in Treiso, in the Barbaresco area, and at Colombaro in Serralunga d'Alba in the Barolo area. Vinification requires that the Chardonnay is collected in crates, gently pressed and briefly cold decanted. For aging it ferments and stays for 10 months on the lees in new wooden barriques for only 1/3. Then it is placed in the bottle.
