About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in vineyards in Abruzzo at an altitude of 500 m, on sandy clay soils.

Grapes

Montepulciano is supplemented by a small proportion of Sangiovese.

Vinification

The must undergoes 15–18 days of skin maceration with daily pump-overs, followed by fermentation in stainless-steel tanks and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then filtered.

Ageing

The wine remains in stainless steel until bottling.
