  • Winemaker: Mariacristina Oddero
  • Farming (sustainable/organic/biodynamic): certified organic
  • Variety(s): 100% Nebbiolo
  • Terroir (soils, elevation, etc): from the Mondoca site in the Bussia cru, in the town of Montforte, 33 yr old vines, S-W exposure
  • Vinification: 30-40 day maceration, fermentation in large wooden fermenters with native yeasts
  • Aging: 36 month aging in 30hl oak barrel. Held 3-5 years in the family’s cellar and released as Riserva
  • Tasting Note:  Amazing wine, redolent of all kinds of botanicals, almost like a wine infusion of a host of different plants and fruits; warm and inviting on the palate, tannins are there but they are very attractive, like 70% chocolate
  • Score: 96, Vinous, Eric Guido
