About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from young vines on the slopes of the extinct volcano Vulture. Cantine del Notaio’s family vineyards comprise 26 hectares divided into five plots with differing soil types and have been farmed according to biodynamic principles since 1998.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the first half of October and macerated on their skins for seven days. Fermentation lasts 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in three- and four-year-old French oak barrels stored in natural caves carved into volcanic tuff.

Tasting profile

Fresh, pleasant and aromatic, with good structure.

Label / history

The name “L’Atto” means “action” in Italian.
