Meet the Producer
The historical soldier label, created by Renato Ratti, honours the heroism of Piedmontese regiments in the 18th century. Bottled in the iconic Albeisa bottle, designed by Ratti in 1973, the wine reflects the uniqueness of Alba and its surrounding terroir.
Production
Grapes are hand-picked in September, de-stemmed, and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with roughly one week of skin contact. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in steel containers, preserving the wines freshness, fragrance, and natural acidity.
