An iconic Nebbiolo with elegance and longevity
In the small Ghemme area, there are just over 60 hectares of these prized vineyards. Unique climatic conditions and significant day-night temperature variations, due to cold winds from Monte Rosa, give these grapes their exceptional aromatic complexity. The clay soils and west-facing slopes produce a wine known for its richness, fullness of flavor, and ability to enchant for many years.
