The name of this wine comes from the word ‘Mun d’la crus’ which was mentioned in the land register of Vinchio dating back to 1730. The legend tells that a large cross was erected here facing the Bricco dei Saraceni to commemorate the site of a great battle, the victory of which led to celebrations which required copious amounts of wine!
Produced from 100% Cortese, an indigenous white grape variety that has been grown on the hills of Alto Monferrato, that produces light, easy-drinking wines. The grapes are harvested by hand in the morning and delivered immediately to the winery.
The grapes are softly pressed and the clear must is separated and transferred to stainless steel tank for fermentation. The wine then matures on the lees with bâtonnage for nearly one month, followed by a clarification before being returned to tank for a further 4 months. No MLF. The wine is bottled in early spring and released one month later. No oak ageing.
