About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Apulia at an altitude of 380 m, mainly on limestone soils. The vines are 8–10 years old.

Grapes

The blend includes Fiano Minutolo, an ancient Apulian variety that has been rediscovered.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-August. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, after which the wine is bottled without filtration.

Ageing

The wine ages on its lees for 24 months.

Serving and pairing

Serve in a flute glass.
