The barely 1-ha vineyard where this wine is harvested is located in the centre of the appellation. Here, the soil consists mainly of red-brown porphyry sand of volcanic origin. As such, the vineyard, planted with 70% Nebbiolo, 18% Vespolina and 12% Croatina gives a very different wine to that from the Prevostura hillside. After a maceration of some 30 days, this too matures for over 2 years in barrel and 1 year in bottle. Although the vines here are a lot older – some 35 years – yet again very low yields, barely 3,200 bottles were produced.
