Thirty million years ago, the sea extended across the Piedmont plain. On one side, the rocks collided and formed the Alps; on the other, they sank to a depth of 1,000 metres. Sediments were deposited, layer after layer, on the seabed: pebbles, gravel and sand settled together with silt and clay. Marine currents completed the picture, carrying microorganisms and minerals rich in magnesium or potassium. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The sediments slowly turned into rock and the layers consisting mainly of silt and clay produced marls which, when the soil began to rise, came to the surface and shaped our hills. <\/p>

The roots of the vine, penetrating deep into the soil, retrace the history written in the rocks, imprinted in every layer. They extract its essence, impossible to reproduce elsewhere. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The light and relatively infertile soil of the Langa Astigiana in combination with the ventilated microclimate is naturally suited to the cultivation of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.<\/p>

It alternates marl and sand in variable proportions, and it is precisely in this variability that our essence unfolds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Here, marl and sand return these four characteristics, to which is added the structure given by clay, which is essential for our reds. But from meter to meter, the soil changes: each root is optimized for the soil it finds, so each clone expresses its own unique characteristics, which we enhance in the vineyard with the right farming practices, in the winery with separate winemaking. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
