The cuttings from the famous Montrachet vineyard, brought to Italy by Asinari himself, gave rise to a tradition that continues to this day. The Monteriolo vineyards, located 200 meters above sea level, enjoy a south-south-east exposure and grow on clay-limestone soils with a predominance of silt, characteristics that give the wine a strong personality and complexity.< /p>
