About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from vineyards planted on the soils known as “Matile.” These yellowish soils contain volcanic material that glints in sunlight. They are very hard but also highly friable and are rich in potassium and trace elements. The line’s rosé wines are associated with fruit and a persistent mineral, woodland-like undertone.
Grapes
Pinot Grigio.

Label / history
“Matile” takes its name from the soil type found in the vineyards used for the line. An alternative interpretation associates it with the Etruscan word “Papile,” meaning “able to light up,” evoking the volcanic material that makes the ground sparkle in the sun.
