Our wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts. We cold-stabilized them over the winter months. We do not practice clarifications and if not strictly necessary we do not filter them.

Equilibrista is our white wine, or rather yellow! The gold color is in fact its distinctive and deliberately sought-after trait because in our opinion it transmits positivity. The name is a tribute to the personality of our drinks dealer and to the essence of the wine itself, which is that of a dynamic balance.
This wine is born from the vinification in purity of an ancient native variety of Piedmont with an extraordinary propensity for aging.
To obtain the desired color, we vinify it by making it stay in contact with its skins for a variable number of days, depending on the vintage. However, we have chosen not to make strong macerations in order not to lose the varietal characteristics of the grape that we like best, namely the marked minerality and notes of hydrocarbons.
Equilibrista 2021 was produced from a selection of grapes with different degrees of ripeness and with a maceration of approximately 2 days on the skins. The wine underwent alcoholic fermentation in steel, then was placed in barrique (second passage) where it remained to refine on the fine lees for approximately 1 year. It then remained in the bottle for approximately 9 months before being marketed.
It is a wine with a brilliant golden yellow colour, characterized by an enveloping, savory and long sip. On the nose, floral and acacia honey scents intertwine with balsamic and hydrocarbon notes.
The 2020 was produced from a selection of grapes with different degrees of ripeness, with a 2-day maceration on the skins. The wine was aged in steel for over 6 months on the fine lees and then in the bottle for about 2 years before being marketed.
It is a golden yellow wine, characterized by a sapid, fresh and mineral sip. On the nose hints of citrine, chamomile and acacia honey intertwine with notes of hydrocarbons.
Equilibrista 2019 was produced from a selection of grapes with different degrees of ripeness and with maceration on their skins for one week. The wine was aged in steel for approximately 9 months on the fine lees and then in the bottle for approximately 3 years before being marketed.

The 2018 was produced from a selection of grapes with different degrees of ripeness in order to find the right balance between acidity and body. The must was left in contact with the skins for 2 days. The wine was aged in steel for over a year on the fine lees and then in bottles for a year before being marketed.
It is a golden yellow wine, characterized by a fresh, vibrant and mineral sip. Citrine, floral and acacia honey hints on the nose intertwine with notes of hydrocarbons.
The 2017 was produced from slightly overripe grapes with a 3-day maceration on the skins. It was aged in steel for 6 months on the fine lees and in the bottle for three years before being marketed.
It is a white wine of strong caliber and personality. It is characterized by a beautiful golden yellow color, by a full and enveloping sip, supported by the right amount of acidity and flavor. The nose offers hints of ripe fruit, acacia honey, chamomile, enriched by marked notes of hydrocarbons.
2016 is the result of a classic vinification, without contact with the skins. The wine fermented for about a week in new wooden conical vats, after which it was transferred to steel where the fermentation ended and remained on the fine lees for about 8 months. It is a wine with a soft sip with prevalent notes of acacia honey intertwined with a delicate minerality.
Since we have chosen not to join any disciplinary to maintain freedom to make wine according to our personal style, we are not allowed to indicate the grapes with which our "generic" wines are made, neither on the label nor on the site. Hence do not hesitate to contact us for info about it!
