The estate's highest vineyard at 400 meters in Treiso commune encompasses 1.5 hectares of what Pierguido calls "crazy steep, windy, and completely exposed" terrain. Yellow marls with limestone dominate the thin soils, creating conditions so extreme that harvest occurs 10 days after other sites. The 25-35 year old vines undergo traditional fermentation with careful extraction, followed by two years in large oak - these wines need an additional 1-2 years to show their best.
