The 2006 BIGOLLA from VIGNETI MASSA is a red still DOC wine from the Piemonte region in Italy. This wine is made from grapes grown in a limestone vineyard facing east, located 280 metres above sea level, with artisanal care that includes manual harvesting in bins and a rigorous selection in the vineyard. The traditional vinification involves daily pump-overs and careful management of the pomace, elements that give the wine a unique and refined character, an authentic expression of the Piemonte territory.
