Only the first pressing obtained from the selection of the best Pignoletto grapes is used to produce this precious wine displaying a marked personality.

This is the modern version of a classic wine which should be served at 10-12 °C to match traditional specialities such as tortellini and cappelletti (typical local pasta).
