Viticulture
Vines average 35 years old, giving complexity and weight to what is becoming one of Italy's most fashionable white wines. The estate is divided into distinct areas producing very different wines. The majority of grapes go to produce the unoaked 'La Battistina', while 'La Monetta' comes from a small, plot at the foot of the Battistina hill which lies within the Gavi di Gavi sub-zone.
