The steep terraced single vineyard site Scarrone is located in Castiglione Falletto, with a south-eastern exposure. The oldest parcel of the vineyard is planted in 1918, with a density of 4,300 grapevines per hectare. The vineyards soil is made of marl (clay in combination with limestone).

The yield which is low by nature due to the age of the plants, is further reduced by a very strict selection of the grapes. Full bodied, with intense fruit on the palate that is paired with refreshing acidity. The single vineyard Scarrone has finesse, excellent balance, great complexity and a long lingering aftertaste.

Maturation: After alcoholic fermentation is followed by a post-fermentation maceration with the skins. The wine is then racked and transferred to barriques for malolactic fermentation. Aging: about 18 months, between steel, barriques and barrels.
