Notes from the Producer:
"A selection from two estate vineyards: ‘Ferrione,’ on a hillside facing west/southwest; and ‘Ginestra,’ facing east, in Monforte d’Alba. Altitude ranges from 1,440 to 1,500 feet. Soils mix clay and limestone marl. Nascetta is rarely cultivated, yet is believed to be the Langhe’s true indigenous white grape."
