Terroir: The Bussia vineyard, in the Barolo area, is characterized by calcareous-clay soil, which imparts minerality and structure to the wines. The combination of this unique soil and the microclimate of the Monforte d'Alba hills allows for the slow and optimal ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes, ensuring long-lived wines of great depth.

Vinification: The Nebbiolo grapes are hand-harvested and traditionally vinified with long maceration to extract the best from the variety. Aging takes place in large oak barrels for at least 24 months, adding complexity and roundness to the aromatic profile, followed by further bottle aging.
