About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Val delle Rose estate vineyards, situated at 150 metres above sea level on stony, sandy soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the first week of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 16 days at temperatures not exceeding 26 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures in barriques for six months, followed by three months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Elegant.

Label / history
