“SIRE” NEBBIOLO LANGHE DOC Nebbiolo, one of the most sought-after grape varieties in the world, holds sovereignty in the vine growing areas of Alba. The name, Sire, signifying a great ruler or king, is a tribute to the noble qualities this Nebbiolo has to offer. Fromyounger vines on the southwestern hillsides of the vineyards in Canale, these Nebbiolo grapes are fermented following the classic Piemontese 15-day maceration period.

“MONBIRONE” BARBERA D’ALBA DOC The vineyards for MonBirone Barbera d’Alba lie on a hill of the same name, where temperature variances between different vintages are mitigated by the vineyard’s 360-degree exposure, ensuring a consistent quality standard.

“PRINTI” ROERO ROSSO RISERVA DOCG Monchiero Carbone introduced Printi Rosso in 1997 in an effort to produce a wine capable of competing, and winning, on any stage. Their goal was to create a wine that would lend itself to long periods of aging without forfeiting the Roero Nebbiolo’s characteristic elegance. Here, on the limey, east-facing soil of Frailin hill, the grapes benefit from dry, hot summer days and the autumn sun’s lingering, lukewarm rays. Fermentation is always long and slow, after which, the wine is drawn off into different barrels, where it completes malolactic fermentation and ages for at least 24 months.
