Pià de la Tesa Botticino Doc

The grapes used to make Pià de la Tesa Botticino DOC are Barbera 35%, Sangiovese 35% and Marzemino 20%, plus 10% Schiava Gentile, as required by the production regulations. The vineyard sits high in the hills (about 400 metres above sea level) of Botticino, in the centre of the area’s natural amphitheatre, where the terrain and the specific microclimate create an ideal environment for growing vines. One of this vineyard’s key characteristics is its south-eastern exposure. As it faces the mouth of the amphitheatre, the vines receive day-long sunshine.
