About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards in Copertino are deliberately kept at low yields, with only 6–8 bunches left on each vine. Nearby sea influences and abundant sunshine help the grapes reach high sugar levels and develop a full, expressive flavour. The soils are limestone-rich, stony and chalky.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested when fully ripe and undergo controlled fermentation in large Slavonian oak casks for 30–45 days.
Ageing
The wine ages for six months in French oak barriques, followed by six months in large casks and six months in bottle.
Serving and pairing
Decant before drinking.
