About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Puglia, Italy’s southernmost region, where the long Mediterranean coastline and surrounding plains gradually rise into low mountains. The limestone soils are exposed to strong sunshine and cooled by fresh Mediterranean breezes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. All winemaking takes place in neutral vessels to retain freshness and bright varietal character.

Label / history

The wine was made for the Galop company for the 2018 General Assembly of the International Equestrian Federation. It is presented in a custom-designed bottle with a label illustration by Misha Lenn.
