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.
