The Colline Novaresi hills are formed by alluvial deposits transported by the Sesia river. The alluvial debris is composed of materials coming from the fossil Supervolcano of the Sesia-Val Grande Unesco Global Geopark. The soils are deep and rather fertile, but they maintain characteristics typical of volcanic areas, i.e. acidity and rich minerality. In this region, the local white grape variety is Erbaluce. This wine is fermented and aged in oak barrels for six months. This traditional method produces a full bodied, concentrated, complex and well structured white wine, with fruity, floral aromas and hints of tertiary notes that will become more evident over time.
