About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in vineyards in Abruzzo.

Vinification

The wine is certified organic, biodynamic and vegan. It is vinified with natural yeasts and without added sulfites. Its production involves pollen from Dinaric gentian and mountain pine collected in La Mugheta, whose name means “the place where pine trees grow.” This area of the Maiella massif lies above the tree line at elevations of 1,700–2,300 metres.

Ageing

After fermentation, the wine rests in steel tanks for six months before bottling.

Vintage notes

For the 2020 vintage, the plant material used in production also included a selection of black elder.

Label / history

The wine belongs to the “Vola Vole Maiella National Park” range, which draws on the biodiversity of Maiella National Park, one of Italy’s relatively young protected natural areas.
