Vineyard and terroir
The local soils contain abundant silica-rich stone known as ficiligno.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in three stages between late August and late September. The first portion is gently pressed; the second and third spend 24–36 hours in cryogenic tanks at 12 °C. A seven-day cold maceration takes place at a controlled 8 °C. Each portion ferments separately for 40–60 days.
Ageing
The wine rests in steel tanks. The separate portions are blended about one month before bottling.
Tasting profile
Elegant and well balanced.
Label / history
