The vineyard, in one of the areas with a high viticultural vocation of Verduno, is located at 265 m.s.l.m. on an area of 1.22 hectares entirely planted with Nebbiolo. The soil made up of white earth with a prevalent calcareous-clayey composition, the happy East-South-East exposure and a scrupulous selection of the grapes allow to obtain a wine capable of surprising for longevity and power
