About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The estate is in Salento, Puglia, and comprises more than 350 hectares of vineyards. It also has land near Brindisi on the Adriatic coast that is used for experimental plantings of white grape varieties. Puglia's abundant sunshine is moderated by constant cooling breezes from the nearby Mediterranean Sea, helping the grapes retain refined character and balanced fruitiness.
Vinification
The wine is vinified in small tanks using methods intended to preserve the fruit and refinement of the grapes.
