About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Corte Adami’s own vineyard in the historic Castelcerino area. The site lies at 350 m above sea level, faces south-east and has volcanic soils and a mild local climate. The vines average 40 years of age.

Vinification

After careful selection, the grapes are dried on special racks for at least four months, then gently pressed. A long fermentation takes place partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests on fine lees for seven to eight months with periodic bâtonnage, followed by four months in stainless steel tanks and several months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Richly aromatic, with an elegant, mineral character.
