About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from hillside plots called "Bure Alto" and "Montepala". Harvest runs from mid-September to mid-October.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed and pressed. The must is then fermented with skin contact and gently pressed to extract colour and aroma.

Ageing

The wine ages for one year in Slavonian oak barrels, then rests for several more months in bottle after bottling. It qualifies as Superiore by ageing at least 12 months from 1 January following the harvest, with an alcohol content above 12% at the time of consumption.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with ripe berry notes and a subtle hint of spice.

Label / history

Around 3,000 bottles are produced each year.
