Aroma
The nose reveals aromas of red fruits such
as raspberries, cherries and wild strawberries,
with extremely airy notes of roses and violets
emerging at the end.
Maturation
The 12-month ageing period began in 1000-litre
Garbellotto casks and continued in large
traditional barrels, ahead of bottling
in spring 2026.
Appearance
The wine is a deep garnet red
colour.
Palate
The palate is more lifted
and refined than the previous vintage, presenting
crunchy red fruit notes and hints of citrus. Silky
smooth, enveloping tannins are fused with
vibrant acidity, striking the perfect balance that
is the hallmark of the 2024 vintage and leading
to a long, delightful finish.
Vinification
Thanks to the altitude
and cool breezes in this area of San Sebastiano
near Monforte d’Alba, the Nebbiolo grapes ripen
slowly and gradually until late in the season,
ideally paving the way for the development of
rich aromas and fine tannins. Nebbiolo thrives
in vineyards with substantial temperature
variations and cooler nights, so it reaches
outstanding phenolic ripeness here. Due to
the cool, well-ventilated conditions in 2024,
grape quality and health were well above the
seasonal average. Eight days passed before the
onset of natural fermentation with indigenous
yeasts. 15 days of simple, traditional and non-
invasive alcoholic fermentation were followed
by 14 days of post-fermentation cap maceration.
Region Notes
San Sebastiano, Monforte d’Alba. The
grapes come from vines around 65 years old. The
vineyards are wrapped around a chapel dedicated
to Saint Sebastian, covering the southern, eastern
and western slopes in a wonderful little hamlet.
