Le Tense is obtained from grapes coming exclusively from the Sassella subzone. During the Swiss domination (1512 - 1797), the best vineyards were "tense", that is "protected", by armed guardians: they thus became the most celebrated vineyards. This selection of vines produces a wine that expresses the character of the land: ancient stones and rocks that represent the terroir of Sassella. Nebbiolo tends to produce grapes with elegant aromas and delicate, harmonious flavours typical of mountain wines.

WINEMAKING METHOD:  The grapes are vinified with the red winemaking method at controlled temperature.

AGEING: Two years, one of which in french oak large vats and barriques .

TASTING: Bright ruby hue, accompanied by a complex nose with alluring raspberry notes and hints of roses and violet with sweet spices and notes of orange peel and candied fruit; full-bodied palate and ripe tannins in evidence. Full flavoured wine, with lingering notes of red berries and sweet spices in a long finish.
