About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vines more than 20 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of October and carefully selected. They then undergo appassimento in a well-ventilated room. Fermentation of the dried grapes continues until the intended balance between sweetness and alcohol is achieved.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24 months in oak barrels with a capacity of at least 25 hl.

Tasting profile

Elegant fruit aromas lead to a rich, harmonious palate.
