Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at 340 m above sea level with south and south-west exposure. The vines are trained using both the traditional Abruzzo overhead-trellis system and vertical trellising. Clay soil develops a richer structure at greater depth, and the yield is 9 t/ha.

Grapes

100% Trebbiano.

Vinification

The bunches are harvested manually with careful selection during the second half of September. A 12-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration precedes soft pressing. Fermentation begins at 18 °C and is completed in 500 L wooden barrels. Malolactic fermentation is partial.

Ageing

The wine remains sur lie in wooden barrels for 12 months, followed by more than six months of bottle ageing.

Tasting profile

Intense straw yellow with golden highlights. The aromatic profile combines white flowers, exotic and citrus fruit, and spices. The palate is full and mineral, with citrus notes and a persistent finish recalling ripe almonds and vanilla.
