The grapes are sourced from the Monpra vineyard, located in the Langhe appellation of Piedmont, Italy. The vineyard features a unique terroir with a mix of clay and limestone soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine.

The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Nebbiolo grape, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.
