Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow on old vines in Vallone’s vineyards in Salento. The vines experience a mild microclimate and are planted in limestone and clay soils.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of September and carefully selected. They are dried outdoors on racks for around 14 days, concentrating their sugars and phenolic compounds. After destemming and pressing, the grapes undergo a long fermentation with special yeasts in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine ages for several months in oak barrels, followed by one month in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
Tasting profile
The aroma is elegant and rich in fruit and spice. The palate is rich and smooth, with a pleasant warmth and an unexpectedly easy-drinking character.
