Vineyard and terroir
The 2025 technical sheet places the hillside vineyards in the Monte Vulture area around Venosa, Basilicata, at 350 m above sea level. The vines were planted in 2000 and are espalier-trained with Guyot pruning at a density of 3,300 vines per hectare. The soil is loose and dry, volcanic and predominantly tuffaceous, with the characteristic colour of pozzolanic terrain and a good mineral presence. Yield is 100 quintals per hectare.
Grapes
Malvasia.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand into crates during the first ten days of September. Following pressing and destemming, the must remains in contact with the skins for approximately 24 hours at 5–8°C to extract varietal aromas. It is then racked and fermented in stainless-steel tanks at 14–15°C until alcoholic fermentation is complete.
Ageing
The wine matures for four months on the lees in stainless-steel tanks at 10°C. Bottling normally coincides with the cool spring season, followed by at least two months of bottle ageing before release.

The sensory complexity resolves into a fine balance between aroma and flavour.
