                        Vineyard location and profile:  
                        
                        The La Gatta area is located in the comune of 
                        Calamandrana, a few kilometres from Asti. 
                        
                        
                        The vineyards, about 8 hectares (19 acres), have an 
                        ideal southeast exposure and are planted on calcareous 
                        marl; at an altitude of 200-250 metres, the microclimate 
                        is ideal for the perfect ripening of the fruit and, 
                        hence, for the production of outstanding wines. 
                        
                        
                        Vinification and ageing:  
                        
                        After a light pressing, the chilled first-run juice 
                        is stored until the development of effervescence in 
                        pressure tanks and subsequent bottling. 
                        
                        
                        The process produces a wine that is always fresh and 
                        lively, with rich aromas and classic varietal character.
