From vines planted in 1986 at an altitude of 400 meters, the vineyard benefits from a northwest exposure. Maceration lasts 7 days, followed by 6-7 months of maturation in stainless steel tanks. After 3 months of bottle ageing, the wine is released and the result is a dark fruited and aromatic rich red

Notes on the producer

It was in 1978 that Piero Benevelli started out with five hectares of vines in Monforte d’Alba and focused on the traditional grapes of Piedmont: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera. His son, Massimo, started his training in the vineyard at age 14 and quickly learned the core principle that still guides him today—to make great wine, you must first have great grapes. The young Massimo Benevelli has developed into an extremely talented Piemontese grower. He exhibits a total command of the production process, from vine to bottle. When tasting his production during various stages of aging there is a consistency, a touch, an intangible quality that is the mark of something great. His wines show character, soul, and originality.
