Vinification
This wine is concentrated, complex and harmonious. This is primarily due to the considerable reduction in yield per hectare (60HL). Only the best grapes are then selected by hand. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 15 days. Subsequently, the blended young wine matures for a year and a half to two years on new 500 liters tonneaux of French oak and 1 year in the bottle.

About Tacchino
Monferrato is traditionally a famous wine region, in the Piedmont in Italy, where the vineyards cover the hills like a blanket. The Tacchino winery (around 25 hectares, half of which are planted with vines) is in the heart of this green area. The domain has the shape of a natural amphitheater, which protects the vineyards against the cold northern wind from the Alps. The southern location of the vineyards, the 'white' lime-rich soil, the relatively low production per hectare and the traditional way of harvesting are among other things the secret of these high-quality wines.
