The 2001 MONLEALE is a still red wine produced by VIGNETI MASSA, proudly rooted in the winemaking tradition of Piemonte, Italy. Belonging to the DOC designation, this wine originates from vineyards situated on clay and limestone soils, at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level and an east-west exposure, which confer a distinctive structure and character to the product.
