Wine Identity
Origin and character
Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC represents one of the most authentic and accessible expressions of Nebbiolo delle Langhe wine. The grapes come from vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, where the microclimate and calcareous-clay soils allow the grape variety to express itself with elegance, finesse, and immediacy.
Designed for those who want to discover Nebbiolo d'Alba in a younger and more dynamic version, this wine retains the structure and nobility of the grape variety, but with a more ready and versatile drinkability.

Podere Gagliassi grows its grapes using certified organic methods, naturally limiting yields and respecting the vine's balance. The winemaking process is carried out with artisanal care and technical expertise, resulting in a clean, precise, and harmonious Nebbiolo that best expresses the terroir.
