About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the hilly “Bure Alto” area at 180 m, on limestone and clay soils.

Vinification

Ageing

The wine ages for seven years in French oak tonneaux, followed by 12 months in bottle before release.

Tasting profile

Intense yet easy-drinking.

Label / history

Annual production is 2,000 bottles.
