San Giuliano

Located at the juncture of the ridge lines of Albesani and Gallina, this small MGA extends over two different sectors: one immediately behind the historic town center (on the left in the first image), with a cooler exposure and a larger presence of other grape varieties rather than Nebbiolo, the other, instead, around the hilltop of the same name, including a part of the Crosa estate’s vineyards. The wines range from the linear elegance of Na Giurnà to the more classically tannic wines of Pasquale Pelissero and Fattoria San Giuliano.
