Product Description
Costa Bassa means ‘lower slopes’. In this case, between 400-500 metres, with the fruit (100% Chiavennasca) all sourced from the Valgella sub-zone. Similar ferment/maceration time to the ‘Tei’, then 12 months in large-format oak (45 hectolitres Slavonian). More juicy and fragrant than the Rosso, with hints of wild strawberry, liquorice and dark berries; great structure, precise acidity, savoury tannin and the distinct minerality that characterises these wines
