Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Vigna del Bruciato, where the vines are trained to spur-pruned cordon and produce approximately 1,000 g per plant. Harvest is by hand, beginning in early September and continuing until the middle of October.
Grapes
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot.
Vinification
The grapes are gently destemmed and handled carefully before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Skin contact lasts approximately 15 days.
Ageing
The wine matures for 12 months in second- and third-use barriques.
