About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from a vineyard near an ancient mill. The wine takes its name from the molacce, the mill’s large stone wheels once used to crush olives for oil. The name recalls the identity, traditions and memory of its place of origin. The vines are Guyot-trained, with a yield of 80–90 quintals per hectare (8–9 t/ha), and the grapes are harvested at the end of September.

Label / history

An ancient mill stands close to the vineyard. Its molacce—large stone millstones—were traditionally used to crush olives. The wine’s name evokes this image and preserves the memory of the local terroir.
