The grapes of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay come from the Monferrato area, more precisely from the wonderful hilly area that stretches from Strevi to Castino. The vines have an average age of about 25 years and are cultivated at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level, on very suitable soils, composed of marls characterized by a high percentage of limestone.
