Nebbiolo forms eighty percent of the blend, with Croatina and Vespolina at ten percent each. The Cottignano parcel lies at 350 metres in Masserano, on acidic volcanic porphyritic sand. The organically farmed vines are twenty to fifty years old. Native-yeast fermentation follows destemming and soft crushing, with up to forty days on skins. The blend rests six months in concrete, then two years in an older large oak cask.

Light cherry-red colour accompanies fruit, floral and spice notes, with peppery and balsamic tones. Freshness, tannin and acidity are present alongside a savoury, juicy palate. Grignolino from a marl-soiled hill with southern exposure at nearly 300 metres spent eight months in stainless steel. Six thousand bottles were produced in Piedmont, and the winery is located in Vignale Monferrato.
