ABOUT THIS WINE
Cascina Disa is a historic 15th-century estate situated in the Perno hamlet of Monforte d'Alba, stewarded by Elio Sandri and his family. Sandri practices non-interventionist farming and ultra-traditional winemaking focused on historical Nebbiolo clones. The micro-parcel Vigna Ceretta di Perno sits on steep, blue-marl limestone slopes that yield structured, highly age-worthy wines. The 2020 vintage captures remarkable balance between perfume, tension, and traditional Barolo architecture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Harvested manually from 40-year-old vines, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in traditional cement tanks alongside extended skin maceration. Aging takes place slowly over 3 to 4 years in large neutral Slavonian oak botti, followed by additional refinement in cement vats and bottle prior to release as a Riserva. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration and with minimal added sulfur.
