About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the first half of September. After gentle pressing and a one-hour maceration, the must is separated from the grape solids and fermented at a controlled temperature. A secondary fermentation follows, lasting nine months.

Ageing

The wine is stabilized for several months, racked off the lees and aged for six months in French oak barriques.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with a refined, clean palate and a distinctive aroma reminiscent of fine perfume.

Label / history

In the Parmigiano area, older people use the affectionate diminutive “nani” for beloved children. The wine was named in dedication to Otello Ceci’s sons, Bruno and Giovanni, who now run the winery and continue its current philosophy.
