Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie around Ortona on Abruzzo’s Adriatic coast. They face south-east and combine clay and limestone soils; the vines are trained to both Guyot and Pergola systems.
Grapes

Vinification
The grapes are harvested in early October and undergo gentle crushing and destemming. Brief contact with the skins lasts approximately six hours, followed by a 15-day fermentation at 12°C.

Serving and pairing
Serve at 14–16°C. Pair with raw shellfish, vegetarian dishes, fresh cheeses, Asian cuisine or white meats. Best enjoyed young.
