The fruit comes from vineyards in Novello, at 450 metres above sea level, on clay and sandy soils. The vines are at least 20 years old.

Grapes

The wine is made from a selection of grapes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and partially destemmed before fermentation in concrete vats.

The wine matures for 24 months in large oak casks, followed by 12 months in neutral tanks.

Tasting profile
