The "CCC" from the winery of Daniele Ricci is a personal and original interpretation. The white grape is vinified with a short skin maceration and a long oxidative aging. Enological choices translate into a broad, rich, mature wine that primarily expresses tertiary aromas. Thanks to the characteristic freshness of the grape variety, accompanied by light tannic sensations and a clear mineral vein, the wine finds a proper expressive balance in the glass, characterized by complexity and persistence.
The "CCC" wine is produced by one of the most unconventional and interesting winemakers in the Tortona area. The winery is located in Costa Vescovado and cultivates vines in the 10 hectares of the estate managed under organic farming, using only sulfur and copper.

Alongside the more traditional, the labels of Daniele Ricci have immediately caught the attention of enthusiasts for their strong personality and no half measures. They are alternative wines compared to the dominant standards, dedicated to those who are looking for something particular, artisanal, characteristic, and unforgettable.
