Description

3 hectare vineyard in hills around Gattinara, vineyards planted in 1940 and 1950. The vineyard is named for the white, dusty top soils of clay mineral sand on a sub soil of igneous rock. Very old vines planted with old clones of Nebbiolo from the area.

Aromas of incense and potpourri figure prominently in this maturing red, whose fading cherry and berry flavors are matched by leather, tobacco and mineral accents. This ends with a light, dusty feel on the long, fresh finish. Drink now through 2028. 400 cases made, 120 cases imported.
