LA MAGGIORINA DOC

… a somewhat lighter wine, belonging to "COLLINE NOVARESI DOC" and consisting of Croatina, Uvarara, Vespolina and Nebbiolo grapes. It is a fresh-fruity wine with a characteristic mineral-spicy taste.

The name comes from the traditional Maggiorina system, where four vines evolve in the four cardinal points forming a cup. The architect Antonelli, who also built the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, originally developed this system. He was a native of the neighbouring commune Maggiora, which belongs to the Boca wine region. Eventhough the system has ceased to meet modern agricultural requirements, it is still often found in vineyards.
