Additional Information

27 hectares of vineyards for this now affirmed reality of Alessandria, where although the white grape varieties are the masters, there are also rows of Nebbiolo and Barbera, or the grapes of the Monferrato tradition. La Bollina winery has been able to adopt a style that combines modernity , especially as regards the instruments in the cellar and the winemaking techniques, and a more traditional approach in the cultivation of the vine.

The vines rest on marly-clayey soils and have south, south-east exposure which allows a perfect ripening of the fruit. After careful sorting of the grapes, the bunches are brought to the cellar and subjected to a 4-day prefermentative maceration which takes place at controlled temperature, as well as fermentation, which lasts about 10 days. The malolactic fermentation is carried out completely in stainless steel containers.
