Grown in vineyards in the subarea of Bussia in Monforte d’Alba. The balance between the clayey and calcareous elements in the soil, the high presence of magnesium and microelements, the temperature ranges of the altitude and location of the valley mouth favour the essentials, in these grapes, of particular fruity notes.

from ruby red, it changes, with age, to garnet red.

ample and persistent, flowery with hints of rose, complex even up to leather and tar.

93 Points - Wine Spectator, December 2020.
90 Points - Cellar Tracker
89 Points - Wine Enthusiast, October 2020. "Violet, tilled soil and cooking spice aromas lead the nose. The linear palate offers sour cherry, clove and mocha alongside solid, tightly wound tannins. Drink 2023–2028."
