Pre-phylloxera Chenin/Menu Pineau 50/50. Intermingled (= "entremêlés") in the vineyard via provignage since late 19th century. Tiny yields.

100% Erbaluce. Planted in high hills on the volcanic soils of Boca DOC in Alto Piemonte, the few rows of vines in this tiny parcel average 40 years old, are organically farmed and harvested by hand.

From sandy...

The mash bill is 65% rye, complemented by a mix of corn and barley; the grains are sourced from the nearby sixth-generation-family-owned Rusmar Farms.
