About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the 11 ha Santa Lucia plot, 100 metres above sea level. The ancient soils are made up of layers of tuff, sand and gravel.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed. The must is then filtered and fermented at 16–18 °C.

Ageing

After fermentation the wine matures in tanks kept at a consistently low temperature before bottling.
