About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the best sites of the Rosso Conero zone, on the 43rd parallel. Warm sunshine and the nearby sea allow Montepulciano to show its full potential.

Vinification

The harvest date is chosen on sugar levels, phenolic ripeness, total acidity and pH. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 10–12 months in barriques and Slavonian oak casks, then rests further in bottle.

Tasting profile

Unusually strong phenolic character.
