About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Val delle Rose vineyards planted on stony, sandy soils at 150 m above sea level.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second half of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 15 days at temperatures no higher than 26 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in barriques, followed by eight months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Label / history

Cecchi acquired the Val delle Rose estate in 1996.
