About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on sunny hills in Salento, in clay and chalk soils, and are harvested at optimum ripeness.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. After 4–8 days of maceration, fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 8–10 days at a controlled temperature of 25–30 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees in the same stainless-steel tanks for at least three months.

Tasting profile

Elegant.
