Nebbiolo d’Alba Vigna Valmaggiore
Sourced from just 3 hectares in Vezza d’Alba, the wine is vinified under steel, fermenting on the skins for 8/12 days. Malo follows, after the coarse lees are removed. The wine then matures for 12-14 months in toasted French oak, with 4 additional months resting in steel before bottling.
A classic version, it shines with aromas of cherry, white pepper and vanilla, bolstered by muscular tannins.
