High into the mountains in Northern Piedmont is a highly fragmented region known as Alto Piedmont. Due to the altitude and low pH soils, wines from this area generally have lower alcohol than those from the Langhe, and a distinctive ferrous minerality. This is a pure and fresh wine made from Nebbiolo with 20% Croatina and 15% Vespolina.
