About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Montepulciano grapes grow on hillsides in Abruzzo, where vineyard terraces descend in even steps toward the sea.

Vinification

The wine follows an old traditional method. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed in a membrane press. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature with extended skin contact.
