About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Fertile soils and abundant sunshine and warmth allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop plentiful juice.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are dried for 90 days using the appassimento method. The must is then vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures in French oak barrels for two years.
