Vigna Giaia is part of the Nervo cru facing due south in the village of Treiso. The leaves here change colour early, creating a splash of yellow that makes the vineyard stand out from a distance and gives it its appealing name in the Piedmontese dialect of “Vigna Giaia”.

In great vintages, the grapes from this vineyard follow a separate vinification procedure and lengthier ageing.

The intense garnet colour is enhanced over time by orange nuances. Its expansive bouquet is packed with fruity sensations tending more to prunes, raisins, blackberry jam and cherries in alcohol than fresh berries. The variety’s typical floral notes including violet and geranium are joined by aromas of sweet spices and tobacco. Intense and warm, it lingers on the mouth with great structure.

It is at its best served with rich cuisine: red meat and game, as well as medium-aged and mature cheeses.
