He also produces some Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and Langhe Nebbiolo.
The Fossati Case Nere Riserva 2007 is made from Nebbiolo from the town of La Morra, harvested between the end of September and early October. The fermentation happens in steel and ageing lasts 24 months in barriques (30% new, 70% used). It is followed by 8 months in steel and a further 7 years in bottle. For Piedmont, the 2007 vintage was very good.
