The zone covers only three hectares of south-facing vineyards at 400 metres above sea level in the municipality of Loazzolo in the province of Asti.

The alcohol content must be at least 11% vol (potentially 15.5%), the residual sugar at least 50 g/l, the maturation period 24 months, 6 months of which in barriques.
