Description
Azienda Agricola 499 was started with two friends, Gabriele Saffirio and Mario Andrion joined together to establish artisinal grape growing with a focus on regional Piedmont varieties. A small winery, their focus is on producing the best possible wines using minimal intervention techniques in the vineyard and in winemaking.
The winery gets its name from the village of Camo that located one of the highest hills in the Langhe region at 499 meters above sea level. The cool climate and high altitude conditions allow 499 to achieve the perfect balance of phenolic and aromatic ripeness and natural acidity.

Taste
The nose is delicate and of great finesse, with morello cherry in evidence accompanied by notes of flowers and mint. The palate has an abundance of red fruits such as red currants and raspberry as well as a touch of smoky minerality and herbs. Light bodied and well-structured with fine, silky tannins and a long finish.
