Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie in the northeastern part of the province of Potenza, at 400–550 m above sea level. The vines are 10–20 years old, with yields limited to 7–9 tonnes per hectare.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, usually from 10 to 30 October. Picking takes place early in the morning, followed by immediate transport to the winery. Maceration and fermentation occur in small fermenters at a controlled temperature of 23–26 °C. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine matures in oak barrels on fine lees for around 12 months.
Tasting profile
Balanced.
Serving and pairing
